Paul Follot (1877-1941) was a talented designer who worked successfully in a wide variety of media. In the early 1900s, he began to design in an Art Nouveau style which became gradually simplified after he studied Neo-classical sources. His style, as displayed in this silver teapot, was characterised by a sumptuous elegance which resisted the austerity of pure neo-classicism. Follot made a significant contribution to the Paris 1925 Exhibition and continued to work until well into the 1930s.
