Sweet Art Nouveau to Art Deco WMF silver-plate oil-vinegar cruets circa 1920

Item #1393

It is always a treat to find something special like this. Not our typical art deco point of view, but I love to show this transition between Art Nouveau to Art Deco. WMF a German silver company was probably one of the best at doing this. They were so active during both of these periods and when you look at their pieces you can see the decorative design periods in the most obvious and refined way. What is also nice about this piece, it is in perfect original condition. The glass (crystal) is perfect on each piece, not a chip. I assume it was never used, probably a wedding gift that got tucked away somewhere. Also, very nice, we have the original advertisement from the WMF catalogue book. Silver holder, 3 glass pieces for oil, vinegar, salt and?????? Would look smart on any table setting or buffet, both in Art Deco style and earlier.

Wonderful iron and alabaster Art Deco floor lamp / torchier

Item #1386

In our continued attempt to acquire some unusual art deco pieces, we were fortunate to have this spectacular Iron floor lamp / torchier custom made for our shop. We have been offering some outstanding iron pieces completed in a small work shop in South America.

This alabaster that has the beautiful amber aged patina and we certainly got we wanted. Most alabaster pieces your find that which are new, are about as white as a refrigerator. This one shows the dark veins and looks like its been sitting inside a home for 75 years soaking it all in "Hollywood Boulevard." The lamp is substantial and fairly heavy from due to the the real "fer forge" ironwork. It will certainly add that special ambient light and offer another dimension dimension period lighting.
