Candy Box

Pierre DuMont – Candy Box / Bonbonnière, France, c.1930

A refined Art Deco decorative object

This elegant candy box, or bonbonnière, attributed to Pierre DuMont, is a refined example of early 20th-century French decorative metalwork. Dating from circa 1930, it reflects the understated sophistication and craftsmanship associated with the Art Deco period.

Executed in polished pewter, the piece features finely worked repoussé decoration that adds depth and texture to its compact, rounded form. The softly sculpted surface plays with light in a subtle yet expressive manner, highlighting the artisanal quality of the metalwork. Both functional and decorative, it would have been used to store sweets or small precious items, while also serving as an elegant accent piece.

The base bears an engraved signature, attesting to its authorship and enhancing its collectible value. Its balanced proportions and tactile surface make it equally suitable for display on a console, desk, or within a curated collection of decorative objects.

Presented in good vintage condition, this bonbonnière embodies the charm and refinement of French design from the interwar period.
