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?

I think you must be ready to have a tea party now. A set like this is a real eye catcher. Nice Art Deco shape with faceted corners on a round shape. Of course solid wood Rosewood handles with a very pleasing reverse 7 handle and matching top. This one is ready to go into service.

The set bears the marks of the WMF silver company, the initials of the famous German foundry " Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik", most often simply called WMF. It was founded in the 1853 as a partnership between Daniel Straub and Josef and Friedrich Schweizer, and in 1892 developed a special technique for silver plating in which the silver coating is of double thickness in any parts that will be exposed to greater wear and tear. This patented process is called "Perfect Hard Silver Plating".

In 1910, under the art direction of Albert Mayer, WMF became famous for its Art Nouveau style and established companies for world wide exports in London, Warsaw and Vienna. Many pieces were sent to Argentina between 1910 and 1930, and it is likely that Harrods Department Store which opened in Buenos Aires in 1912 was one of the major importers of decorative pieces such as this tea and coffee set.

The set consists of the following pieces: coffee, tea, sugar, creamer and tray all original.

Measurements:
coffee 8" T x 10" W x 4" D
tea 6" T X 9.5"W x 4.5" D
sugar 4.5" T x 7.5" W x 4.5" D
creamer 3.5" T x 6" W x 2.5" D
tray 15.5" W x 12" D

Very large and unusual detailed large glass vase with unique metalwork. Looks to be of German origin, the metal work is highly stylized and detailed. The top represents the "sun", on both sides with wonderfully fitted with a starburst metal collar design that covers this very ornate leaf and flower etched clear glass vase. The piece is secured in a wonderful stable metal base. It quality of the metal finish is original antique nickel over bronze metal. A very unusual item for our shop not only with an art deco but also a Nouveau point of view. I always like to see these two periods comes together in a kind of transitional design that allows it to live in many places. Maybe your home or your museum?

A stunning and dynamic pair of Art Deco Candlesticks. The most modernist shape you could imagine and yet still be very simple and elegant. Each candlestick holds 5 candles and each candle is organized with detailed machined fittings. The juxtaposition of shapes is marvelous on these with the intersection of circles and squares to accentuate the dynamic design. Very, very solid-heavy and would look great on any table setting etc. etc. etc.

A wonderful and very heavy silver-ed bronze pair with a classic art deco design. Each piece will hold 5 candles, and every connection is professionally machined to screw in and out for easy cleaning. The base has this wonderful 1920's circular motif with circular sized repeats which all spins upwards to be completed with additional classic art deco details. A lot of hand work on these rather ornate candelabras. Of the highest quality work and detail! I do not see any signature but obviously designed during a period of great craftsmanship and opulence. Would look stunning on a buffet, mantle or piano. Beautiful antique silvered finish.

These photos do not do them justice. They just arrived and was in a hurry to get them on-line. Stunning pair of silver-plate candlesticks with black ebony ball. Great contrast between the gleaming silver-plate and the black accent. Nice 3X stepped base with 3 rings around candleholder. This is not a 3 ring circus. Would add a great touch of sophistication to your dinner table, serving piece or mantle.

Striking candlestick made in '925" sterling in a modernist design. Circa 1930's clear mark and made of the finest materials. With a new polish you can see the great lines. Holds 5 candles and would make a brilliant centerpiece for any table or buffet. Not exactly sure of its history and origins, but there are some marks on the bottom that might give some definitive information as to who was the maker. Quality sterling piece for sure.

This has to be one of the nicest Art Deco Coffee/Tea sets we've had in years. Every detail is in place and the quality is outstanding. You only need to pick up a single piece to feel what I am talking about (both weight and balance together). Certainly comparable to any Christofle or Gallia French Art Deco service. All wood is dark solid rosewood and handles are fitted as one would expect from the best silversmiths of that period. In great original condition. Ready to be put into action without reservation. Look at the way the base is stepped to accommodate the fluted centers and yet both the coffee and tea pieces have unusually long handles. Obviously, someone meant to design this set as you can see. I suspect it must be an important French name.

Coffee 7" T
Tea 6" T
Creamer 3" T
Sugar 5" T

Here is a fun pair of very well designed candlesticks. They are from Argentina marked 925 silver. The design is very sophisticated, with nice metal work showing off the fluting all around the candle holders and echoed in the main vertical base as well. Obviously they were designed with the circle holder so you move them from to room to room. Very nicely made and quite symmetrical in the height and width of the design. Completely original with no repairs or required restoration.

This pair of Art Nouveau silver plate urns and quite a little diversion for us here in Art Deco land. You can see that the simplicity of the design pointing towards the deco period, but these also have that Nouveau--craftsmen point of view as well. They are marked "Beldre" but I am not sure I am seeing this mark quite right. In any case, they are a classic design with a wonderful embossed stylized flower on neck of each piece.

Here's a wonderful 1920s Arts & Crafts/Art Deco bronze vase with a distinguished verdigris patina finish by renown metalsmith artisan Carl Sorenson. This vase is in wonderful condition and was most likely used to hold flowers which resulted in some surface pitting and wear on the interior of the vase. This smaller vase is the perfect size for a desk or bedside table and could be used in fact to hold desk items rather than flowers. Either way, this beautiful 1920s bronze vase, with its flared trumpet shape, horizontal banding and pedestal foot has the elegance and simplicity of more contemporary pieces. The vase is signed on the bottom in script, "Carl Sorenson" and stamped "bronze".

This spectacular and very heavy brass and bronze plate with a deep, rich patina is actually more of a sculpture than it is a plate. Depicted is a nautical scene of a majestic and beautiful sailing ship surrounded by seven seagulls. It was created and signed by Pierre Le Faguays (1892-1925).

Pierre Le Faguays was born in Nantes, France in 1892. He was not only a talented sculptor, but also a leading member of the committee for the 1925 Paris Exhibition. He was awarded a medal of honor for his work in 1927. His best friend, Max Le Verrier (of the Le Verrier Foundry) made most of (if not all of) his pieces.

This beautiful and rare French Art Deco inlaid and patinated brass dinanderie vase (circa 1930) was made using the same labor intensive techniques and artistry made famous by Jean Dunand (1877-1942). The contrasting colors are beautiful with a somewhat sketchy appearance and dramatically bold zig-zag pattern. It is a very strong piece of design and would enhance any quality Art Deco or Modernist collection.

A stunning work of art! This French Iron Gate is inspired by a concept and design by Edgar Brandt done in 1925 for an interior door. A gate leading from one room to the next adds drama to decor, and this serves as both a functioning gateway and a dynamic piece of sculpture. Of course it can also be used as an exterior gate, or to add "security" to a glass door. Our master Iron Artisans who have been extensively trained in the lost art and craft of authentic French “Fer Forgé” method have painstakingly recreated this magnificent piece . We certainly believe Edgar Brandt would be proud.
It is available by Special Order only and custom sizes are welcome
