Spectacular Art Deco Desk, Chair and Matching Cabinet in Ruhlmann style!Item #1620 Added February 3, 2012 You've probably only ever seen a piece like this in books on Art Deco. This custom suite was made for our shop, the goal was to re-create this famous Ruhlmann desk using the finest Abedul grained Birch wood (like the French amboyna wood) was chosen and the "ivorite" details were shaped and inlayed by master craftsmen working to create this timeless classic. Additionally, for the first time we created a companion piece that would allow storage, printers or whatever to help design and create a timeless room, uncluttered with all of the office elements typical of most enviornments. A real signature of the Grand Art Deco period. The finish is pure "French" polish with parchment leather inlay as part of the writing surface of the desk. The drawers are all joined in the class French tradition, heavy and meaningful. Even the chair is completed to emulate this design and of course needs to accompany the desk. The chair is upholstered in fine cream leather to match all of the inlays in the desk. It has taken almost one year to complete this and get it ready for the shop, so if this one is for you, it may be the only one for quite some time. This one will certainly take your breath away! Ruhlmann's legacy as a designer was the subject of a major retrospective exhibition at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2004. In 2009, he was called the "Art Deco's greatest artist" by the New York Times. Emile - Jacques Ruhlmann (read all about him) Measurements: |

Spectacular Unique One of Kind (Modernist) Art Deco Cabinet Storage DisplayItem #1619 Added January 26, 2012 WOW WOW! Feast your eyes on what may be one of the most unique Art Deco pieces of furniture we've offered for a long time. When I first saw this piece, sitting in a shop in Argentina, my jaw dropped to the floor. I had never seen anything like before (thought I've seen everything by now)? There is so much design and detail in the piece of furniture, someone who originally designed it (wish I knew who), utilized many of the best elements of geometric modernist triangular treatments. Yet there is a slight Art Nouveau treatment with the rounds dripping wood designs down the top and sides. Yet these shapes seem to resolve themselves in the feet which reflect a little of both. Forget all of that, just look at this piece of furniture, has an almost surreal feeling as well, Baby are you for real (or are you surreal or what). Wish I had a place in my house for this piece, I would not let this one get away. Never see this again. I think you know what i mean! Measurements: |

Large Art Deco Cabinet, display storage with hand carved frontItem #1618 Added January 26, 2012 A beautiful European style Art Deco Cabinet with very nice detailing. The main wood treatment is a spectacular grained sycamore, found in a lot of European art deco furniture. What I love about this piece, first of all is the wonderful carving that runs down the front. The restoration really enhances the look with a rather contrasting point of view circa 1930's. Dark mahogany wood details the top, bottom and carved front. A perfect bookcase and/or display case for decorative objects, yet equally as functional in a bedroom for the storage of sweaters and clothing. Adjustable shelves in all areas and nice size too.

Modernist point of view with triangles and 1/4 circles in two color enamel glass. Yellow and black, quite rare really.

Most likely designed by Karl Palda. Very high quality enamel paint, not hand painted after. Measurements: |

Napier Dial a Drink Classic ShakerItem #1614 Added January 20, 2012 Here is the classic drink mix shaker. Of course like many great designs, has been copied, but this is an original one, circa 1935, in fact this one has its own patent number filed in 1932. Appears to invented by Leroy Haviland Fontan. The Napier company (from Meriden, Connecticut) was very busy during this time, figuring out more ways to fix "bathtub gin" or whatever concoction to encourage people to keep everyone drinking and on the up and up. Well today, we have not lost the art of drinking cocktails, but the forms to make them in do not hold a candle (or container) to this early days in the 1930's. This one is in great condition, restored and ready to go for maybe another 80 years! Measurements: |

You do not see these scarce and original novelty shaker by the great house of Dunhill. Silver-plated in perfect condition with original cork stopper. There have been many versions of this classic shaker image, I think this has to be the best and most important for those serious cocktail shaker collectors. Beautifully marked on the bottom with all the necessary information: Made in England, #3447, pat No etc. Great shaker! For Whom the Bell tolls? It must toll for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Measurements: |

French Ghiso Cocktail Shaker Vintage and rareItem #1612 Added January 20, 2012 A Very interesting, complete and very rare cocktail shaker. Made in France for the export market in the early 1930's. The information for 24 different recipes is all in Spanish (or mostly). The condition is excellent, newly restored chromed brass with glass insert. Stamped The Barman on the bottom and also on one of the top latches. So the way it works is simple, open the top, put in your ingredients, stir it up using the spoon provided and then pour it out using the lip from the retained top. It all comes apart for easy cleaning and the condition of all the graphic writings are perfectly intact. Measurements: |

Penguin cocktail Shaker after 1936Item #1611 Added January 20, 2012 Wonderful original penguin cocktail shaker NOT a reproduction of the modern restoration hardware model.

These figural cocktail shakers are very very interesting and this being a correct period piece would be great for someone's collection. Cheers! Measurements: |

Extremely rare stepped Double Door English Flip Top BarItem #1610 Added January 14, 2012 We finally completed the restoration on this very unusual English flip top envelope bar. In all my years and travels, I've never seen this particular model. I thought by now I'd seen everything? It works very much like a typical English flip top or yacht bar, (check the references on our web site Items 404, 435, 671), which we have had many over the years, but never this model. In addition to the flip top, belly up to the bar feature, this one has two very distinct stepped openings. Lets call the top opening for glasses and small items and then of course the typical lower opening for bottles. This model offers just about everything you could need, great storage, great serving piece and a great stand behind bar, all folding up into a very small package. Of course, you can also add a couple of bar stools as well. Measurements: |

The Best English Flip Top Bar, Envelop or Yacht Bar made by TurnidgeItem #1609 Added January 14, 2012 One of my personal favorites. This is the ultimate. Compact bar yet practical and become the focus at your party. Great access from the front or the back and on wheels so you can move it away from the wall when needed and get behind the bar and make some cocktails for all your friends. We have had these many times over the years, but not for sometime. This one is newly restored with grain filled teak wood and new chrome handles and kick on the base. These bars were made between 1930-1950's and would look great in almost any house or apartment setting. You can even use it with a couple of simple bar stools. Measurements: |

Very rare silver-plate WMF Modernist two bottle wine/champagne coolerItem #1608 Added January 5, 2012 Gosh these are about as rare as "hens teeth". The double or triple bottle wine cooler or champagne bucket. This is a particularly refined example made by the famous German company WMF (inscribed on the bottom). Notice the modernist design of the stylized zig-zag faceted shapes imbedded in the oval shape. Nice strong ebony handles also fitting extremely well with the over-all shape. The only thing missing here is the party and friends needed to make a very festive time with an unusually rare and festive double cooler champagne bucket. How cool is that? measurements: |

Unusual nautical metal streamline side tableItem #1607 Added January 5, 2012 This is a wonderful little table, all original and certainly looks like it must have come off a French transatlantic ship. Made out of shaped metal with nice brass detailing and mirror top. Notice how the support stem echoes the design of the ship's steam stacks. At least that's what I think. Great shape and is just perfect for that "just perfect spot". Could have been originally a smoking stand or a place to hold your glass (between sips). measurements: |

Fabulous lacquer Art Deco wooden panel - stylized fish in the manner of Jean DunandItem #1605 Added December 31, 2011 A wonderful original artist signed (C. Vanhaute, a Belgian artist) very much in the style of the great French artist Jean Dunand. This Japanese inspired lacquered panel has all of the earmarks of a great period piece. It utilizes an amazing patina with the molted dark background impressed with a school of stylized angel fish (very deco) swimming within a nice reef of well planted flora (or is that fauna)? The panel has lots of dimension, not only the fish, but the air bubbles and plants all have a glazed gold to green patina. Stunning artistry, warm and a pleasure to look at. Measurements: |

1930's "BouBou" Monkey Sculpture Max Le VerrierItem #1597 Added December 3, 2011 Here is a wonderfully rare version of the Max Le Verrier sculpture, "BouBou". It is a monkey with a humorous expression holding an illuminated electric lamp in one hand while the other is held to his ear. A similar version of this piece has been photographed for inclusion in the book 'Mascottes Automobiles' by Michel Legrand. Le Verrier produced a small range of monkey subject mascots in the 1920s. This one is perhaps one of his most famous creations. "BouBou" is made of a beautifully patinated metal and he sits obediently upon a round marble base. This charming and quizzical sculpture stands 7" tall and is signed "M LeVerrier". Measurements: About Max Le Verrier: |

French original Art Deco ATO wooden clock with batteryItem #1589 Added December 2, 2011 This is a wonderful wooden mantle or desk clock with great marquetry. These early ATO clocks were very stylized and quite innovative. These are all original battery operated clocks. I have had many over the years, these are NOT digital quartz clock, but original vintage movements. This one has been slightly adapted (and improved I must say), to accommodate the battery in a separate holder that clips on to the original movement mechanism. I have tested it now for months and it works great. I like it. I also like the beautiful wood treatment on this piece, where most of the other ATO clocks I've had, tend to be more streamline and glass. Measurements: |
