The set also includes a meticulously crafted Jester cane, which is not only a work of art but also a practical piece, cleverly designed to unscrew for easy transport. The face of the cane mirrors the mask in many ways, showcasing the artist’s consistent vision and attention to detail. Both pieces are perfect for display and would be an outstanding addition to any advanced collection, particularly for those with a passion for Art Deco and the work of Roland Paris. These unique and rare items are genuinely one-of-a-kind treasures, embodying the elegance and whimsy of  Roland Paris and the Art Deco era.

 

Roland Paris: Born in Vienna (1894-1945), Paris honed his craft at the Weimar Kunstschule before furthering his studies in Munich. His artistic pursuits extended beyond sculpture, including wood carving, graphic design, and illustration. This comprehensive understanding of his work and influences adds depth to appreciating the Art Deco set.

 

Paris eventually settled in Berlin, establishing himself as a versatile artist with a distinct aesthetic. Paris’s legacy extends beyond his technical proficiency; his unique approach to portraying humanity shines through, making his work influential and enduring in Art Deco artistry.
