WHAT DOES OBJET D'ART MEAN IN ENGLISH?

objet d'art

Objet d'art

Objet d'art means literally "art object", or work of art, in French, but in practice the term has long been reserved to describe works of art that are not paintings, large or medium sized sculptures, prints or drawings. It therefore covers a wide range of works, usually small and three-dimensional, of high quality and finish in areas of the decorative arts, such as metalwork items, with or without enamel, small carvings, statuettes and plaquettes in any material, including engraved gems, hardstone carvings, ivory carvings including Japanese netsuke and similar items, non-utilitarian porcelain and glass, and a vast range of objects that would also be classed as antiques, such as small clocks, watches, gold boxes, and sometimes textiles, especially tapestries. Books with fine bookbindings might be included. An objet de vertu by excellence, Fabergé's "Memory of Azov Egg", contains a ship model wrought of gold. A Swiss singing bird box with a bucolic lake scene on the lid, c. 1825, another example of an objet de vertu. The term is somewhat flexible, and is often used as a broad term for "everything else" after major categories have been dealt with.
