Magnificent and very important Art Deco table service (circa 1930), model Dolly from the H.B.C.M. (Hippolyte Boulenger Creil et Montereau) manufacture. With its pink and blue geometric decor, this service embodies the modernist elegance of the 1930s and fits perfectly into a contemporary interior. **The "Dolly" model: ** A classic of the Art Deco period, it stands out for its very graphic geometric patterns elegantly highlighting the edges of the pieces. A decor sought after by enthusiasts of this era. The stamp present under all the pieces confirms the H.B.C.M. Origin. **Lot composition - 73 pieces: ** * 36 Flat plates: d: 24 cm - 1 chip + a few stained. * 11 Dessert plates: d: 20.50 cm - stained. * 11 Deep plates: d: 23.50 cm - 2 with stains. * 3 Large round platters: 34 cm, 32 cm and 29.50 cm - 1 chip + 2 very stained. * 3 Large rectangular platters: 43.50 cm + 2 of 38 cm - stained. * 3 Salad bowls (including 2 with handles): 27 cm, 23.50 cm and 21.50 cm - 1 chip + 1 hairline + stained. * 2 Serving dishes: 25 cm - stained. * 3 Compotiers: 25 cm + 2 of 20.50 cm - 2 with stains. * 1 Sauceboat - stained. **Strengths: ** * Rare service: isolated pieces can sometimes be found, but a complete and homogeneous set like this is very rare. * A genuine century-old Art Deco service. * Timeless pink and blue graphic decor that fits well in both contemporary and high-end interiors. * 73 pieces, including 58 plates (36 flat), ideal for large tables, guest houses or styling projects.
