A beautifully crafted mid-century French letter holder by Jean Goardere, hand-hammered in pewter and showcasing the refined craftsmanship of post-war French decorative metalwork. The sculptural, architectural form and softly textured surface reflect the modernist sensibilities of the period, balancing function with understated elegance.
Designed to organise letters, papers, or correspondence (how chic!), this piece also works effortlessly as a decorative desk object. The hand-worked pewter carries a warm, time-earned patina, with subtle hammer marks that highlight its artisanal nature.
A highly desirable piece for collectors of French mid-century design, modernist metalwork, and signed decorative objects.

Mid-Century French Hand Hammered Pewter Letter Holder by Jean Goardere
Very good. As with all vintage or antique pieces, you would expect general age-related wear, discrepancies and patina to the pewter.
