( Cassis Quenot Dijon )

A turn-of-the-century relic of French bistro culture, this ceramic match striker is a tactile piece of history. The spool-shaped form is adorned with original advertising for a Dijon-based liqueur house, specifically commemorating the Turin 1902 exhibition. This storied event, the Prima Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte Decorativa Moderna (First International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art), served as the global stage for Stile Liberty (Art Nouveau) and remains a definitive moment of the Belle Époque.
