Circular brush c. 1930

"Circular Brush" (c. 1930) is a striking example of Art Deco design by Emmy Roth, a prominent American metalsmith. This small, silver-plated set, consisting of a brush, a comb, and two small, covered containers, embodies the streamlined aesthetic of the era with its smooth surfaces and geometric forms. The set's functionality and compact design reflect the modern, minimalist sensibilities of the Art Deco movement. This piece is currently part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, showcasing its significance as a representative work of the Art Deco period.
