The
House of Odiot was founded in 1690 and for over
three centuries the company of silversmiths has
maintained it's fabulous tradition of creating
masterpieces in precious metals - primarily
silver and gold. Through subsequent
generations it has devoted itself to the same
task, handing down a heritage of work,
intelligence, honor and renown. For five
generations the firm has been silversmiths to
the Kings and Queens of Europe as well as
Presidents and Emperors around the world. Today
the firm is ranked amongst the best silversmiths
in the world.
All
their
items are of a rare luxury. However, the
greatest jewel of all was created in 1854 for
Said Pacha, The Vice-King of Egypt who ordered a
set of three thousand items, the majority of
them in gold, for the concession he granted to
Ferdinand de Lesseps for the construction and
exploitation of the Great Canal. The set
cost nearly 2 million dollars.

After the Universal Exposition of 1900,
various French artists formed a formal
collective. This was known as La
Société des artistes décorateurs.
Founders included Hector Guimard, Eugène
Grasset, Raoul Lachenal, Paul Follot,
Maurice Dufrene, and Emile Decour. These
artists heavily influenced the
principles of Art Deco as a whole. This
society's purpose was to demonstrate
French decorative art's leading position
and evolution internationally. Naturally,
they organized the 1925 Exposition
Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et
Industriels Modernes (International
Exposition of Modern Industrial and
Decorative Art), which would feature
French art and business interests.
The initial movement was called Style
Moderne. The term Art Deco was
derived from the Exposition of 1925,
though it wasn't until the late 1960s
that this term was coined by art
historian Bevis Hillier, and popularized
by his 1968 book Art Deco of the 20s
and 30s. In the summer of 1969,
Hillier conceived organizing an
exhibition called Art Deco at the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts, which
took place from July to September 1971.
After this, interest in Art Deco peaked
with the publication of Hillier's 1971
book The World of Art Deco, a
record of the exhibition
