This model was created c. 1926 for the Parisian showroom interior of parfumerie Viville, following its acquisition by Yardley in 1924. Ruhlmann, whose work has come to epitomise French Art Deco, was recruited to mastermind the new showroom and his characteristic vocabulary of abstracted classicism dominated the stylish interior.
