Dating from the Art Nouveau period, circa 1900, this aluminum pocketknife signed by Maison L'Alutol features a refined decoration depicting a nude woman set in a delicately crafted frame of flowers.
This pocketknife is typical of the Art Nouveau style, with natural, organic motifs that capture the beauty of nature and the female form. The nude woman, finely depicted, is surrounded by stylized flowers, characteristic of works from this period that sought to combine feminine elegance with floral motifs.
The aluminum finish gives this piece a lightness, while retaining its durability. Aluminum, used creatively here, was an innovative material at the time, appreciated for its malleability and strength.
