Materials and Features:

• Artisan Block Lamination: These feature a high labor technical construction where alternating blocks of translucent red and opaque white Rhodoid are heat fused under extreme pressure. The vertical stripes run entirely through the material DNA from front to back, a definitive marker of artisan French studio engineering.

• Sculptural Beveled Architecture: Carved from a substantial solid 4mm block, these exhibit a hand finished 45 degree sloping bevel. This subtractive carving process creates a refined three dimensional profile that distinguishes these from thin, mass market laminated sheets.

• Organic Pigment Migration: Macro inspection reveals a characteristic technical detail where organic red pigment has slightly migrated into the white substrate during the traditional studio baking process. This serves as a signature of authentic mid century heat fusion and hand finishing.

• High Gloss Glace Luster: The surfaces are hand polished to a mirror smooth finish, characteristic of the François Schoenlaub studio, providing a permanent high octane glow that resists the dulling common in modern resin.

Type: Pierced (Professional grade post assemblies with stabilizing base plates)

Age/Origin: Circa 1977 / Paris, France

Marks: Unmarked (Attributed to Guillemette L'Hoir Paris / François Schoenlaub based on integrated block lamination and beveled subtractive carving)

Measurements:

Weight: 11.3g (including findings)
Thickness: 4mm (at center)
Dimensions: 1.5 inch diameter

Condition: Excellent Archival Condition. Both high gloss surfaces remain exceptionally bright and the internal bond is perfectly stabilized. The minor pigment migration on the edge is an authentic manufacturing characteristic of the traditional artisan baking process.
