FAQs

Shagreen, made from untanned stingray or shark skin, gained immense popularity during the 1920s and 1930s Art Deco era through designers like Jean-Michel Frank and Clement Rousseau. It was frequently used to cover luxury personal goods, including cigarette boxes and table lighters, reflecting the periods preference for exotic textures and geometric elegance.

These items typically feature prepared stingray hide (galuchat) stretched over a wooden or metal frame. The functional mechanisms and decorative trims are commonly crafted from sterling silver, silver plate, or nickel-plated metal.

Authentic vintage shagreen exhibits an irregular, natural pebbled surface texture with subtle variations in granule size. Genuine pieces from the 1920s and 1930s often display period silver hallmarks, age-appropriate oxidisation on metal fittings, and seamless hand-fitted craftsmanship.

Place the set on a dark wood desk, marble coffee table tray, or lacquer sideboard to highlight the contrasting organic texture of the hide. Pairing the items with brass or glass accessories complements the Art Deco aesthetic without overwhelming a contemporary room layout.

Dust shagreen regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth, keeping it away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the skin from warping or drying out. Metal fittings should be gently cleaned with an appropriate polish applied using a cotton bud, ensuring no chemical polish touches the shagreen surface.
