Classic Bauhaus Chaise Lounge in metal circa 1940sItem #1340 Added March 19 , 2010 Here is my personal take on a very elegant streamlined Bauhaus style chaise lounge. We restored and reupholstered it in a soft faux chestnut brown mink. I love the vertical linear impression the fabric has to help create a luxurious minimal elegance. What's also great about this piece is its ability to be adapted into an elegant Art Deco boudoir vanity lounge, a mid century living room or alone in a corner to fit in any room with good taste. It is a design statement with a style and edge of its own. We replaced the padding with a nice firm but comfortable foundation. The chrome has been redone and the overall condition is near perfect.

Exceptionally Rare Sterling Art Deco Cocktail Shaker, Tray and GlassesItem #1339 Added March 19 , 2010 Offered today is possibly one of the rarest cocktail shaker sets you will ever have the opportunity to buy! Here is what I know and I think. During the 1930's some very rare sterling hand made sterling cocktail sets were made for the American market (I think it is originally from Japan, there are NO maker marks). The set is of course marked sterling and you must know how unusual it is to find a sterling shaker, let alone a tray and matching glasses. I have seen something similar once before In Barnaby Conrad's book, The Martini, where he highlights, FDR's passion for martini's. This set is very close to the set that FDR owned with a kind of plant/bamboo details. This sterling set is somewhat ornate for typical Art Deco fans, but fabulous and of quality workmanship. It would be considered Repousse (A method of embossing a metal sheet by punching and hammering a design from the back, then polishing it up in front with a chasing hammer, producing a three-dimensional bas-relief surface.) The design has fine details of hammered etching with flowers, plant leaves embellished on every piece, so spectacular. This is certainly not for everyone, but if you desire something of quality and significance, please do not wait, I am sure this won't be here long. I have been buying and selling cocktail barware for almost 20 years and have never seen a set like this. 8 pieces in total, shaker, tray and 6 glasses and in sterling. A dry martini possibly could not taste better in anything as fine as this. The Measurements: |

A very cool red vinyl art deco bar with artistically hand hammered nails complete a leaping gazelle, very art deco. This is a very usual bar, not too large, it has a nice white vitrolite glass top. The back has all the compartments necessary to fully stock this bar with what everything you like. Make mine a dry martini (with gin) a classic. This one was hiding in the cellar of a very popular "speak easy". It was my good fortune to be in the right place and now its your good fortune to find yourself here. Very pop and lots of fun.

1930's French by Degue yellow/gold Geometric hanging chandelierItem #1325 Added February 20, 2010 A magnificent and rare 1930's French Art Deco ceiling fixture by the world-renowned cameo art glassmaker Degué. The fixture has clearly been cherished over the years and is in absolutely perfect condition. The yellow frosted glass "vasque" is hand-moulded from extremely thick pate de verre, and the quality and thickness of the glass can be judged by the fact that the glass alone weighs 6 lbs/3 kg. The shape and design of the glass are extremely eye-catching, and I have included several photographs of the fixture both lit and unlit that I hope do full justice to the detail in the design. The glass drops into a central dome at the base, and this is decorated with a striking geometric design of flowers and stars. All of this decoration is raised substantially in the moulding to create a wonderful three-dimensional effect. The upper edge of the glass is signed Degué and the inside rim is stamped with the model number, 1050. The fixture is suspended by the four gold chains and matching ceiling rose. The length of the chains is easily adjustable so that the overall drop of the fixture can be altered if required, and I can supply additional chain should the buyer wish. There are two light fittings above the glass vasque that take standard bulbs and the fixture is fully wired for use and in perfect working order. David Gueron, (Degué), founded his factory and showroom in Paris in 1926, which he called Verrerie D’Art Degué. Here he put his full attention on the designing and production of art deco luxury art-glass. Degué mainly produced vases, lamps and chandeliers, and his glass has become world-renowned and highly collectable because of the remarkable quality of the moulding and deep rich colours.

WMF 1920 Silver-plate Champagne Bucket Acorns DesignItem #1310 Added January 15, 2010 This stunning silver-plated champagne ice bucket was made in Germany by the famous WMF Company, between 1915 and 1920.

You can see the natural decorative element of 'acorn & fern' with wonderful triangular darts in a very modern round shape. So this is where the two ideas come together nicely. Made in Germany by WMF and hallmarked as well.
