The red Cartier case appeared around 1920, following Cartier's worldwide expansion. This deep red symbolises power, passion, courage and respect. Red is a benchmark: to open the Cartier case is to receive an exceptional and precious object. The golden friezes decorating the case appeared as early as 1910 and were stylised in the inter-war period in parallel with the Art Deco movement. The Cartier case thus became an instantly recognisable and desirable object.
Lot from a voluntary sale.
