Description
France Scott #s 222 & 224, issued in 1925, are used commemorative stamps produced for the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes held in Paris, the landmark exhibition that gave rise to the term Art Deco.
Both stamps feature a sculptural male figure holding a decorative vessel, symbolizing craftsmanship, design, and modern decorative arts. The imagery is framed by architectural brickwork and bold typography, combining classical form with modern stylistic restraint. The stamps were issued in different denominations and color schemes to meet varying postal rates:
-
Scott #222 – 25 centimes (reddish-violet)
-
Scott #224 – 75 centimes (blue)
These examples are postally used, each bearing visible cancellations with solid overall presentation. Together, they form a visually striking pair representing one of the most important cultural exhibitions of the 20th century.
A desirable duo for collectors of classic France, Art Deco design, world’s fairs, or early modernist art themes.
