A stunning and dynamic pair of Art Deco Candlesticks. The most modernist shape you could imagine and yet still be very simple and elegant.

Stunning Rare Art Deco Etched glass modernist Punch bowl & Tray
Item #1709
This might be the nicest Punch bowl set we've ever seen! Breathtakingly stunning and sharp! We bought this years ago and finally got around to preparing it for sale.

Pair of Art Deco Silver-plate Jardinieres
Item #1686
I love to find things in pairs, it doesn't happen often. I believe we have here a pair of silver-plated jardinieres most likely of German origin and maybe WMF! There has been some restoration done to them and what you see is newly restored silver-plating throughout. Great simple art deco design with repeated stylized vine and flower motif, a bit reminiscent of Art Nouveau design, but very much works with Art Deco. Notice the nice faceted raised tapered lines which surrounds both pieces in a symmetrical motif. Be great to use on a large dining buffet or as ice buckets or plant holders. Lots of possibilities.
Outstanding unique cubist coffee/tea service by H.L. Linton Paris
Item #1668
What a beautiful service this is, so many nice details. The French were great at designing and manufacturing these wonderful classic sets (a time gone by). This particular one was designed and manufactured by H.L. Linton of Paris, each piece is stamped on the bottom. The design is great, very cubist and somewhat asymmetrical (notice the elongated and angular shapes). Not your typical French coffee service. Each piece has some very nice details with rosewood handles that have been delicately shaped in such a way to allow the cubist influence of the metal work desgin to stand out in very original way. Almost like a French cubist painting.
15 Piece Susie Cooper Art Deco Espresso Set
Item #1653
This is an exciting Susie Cooper, 15 piece set of the striking modernist china by one of Britain’s most reknown ceramicists and dinnerware designers. Green & Black Coffee set with Kestrel pot, sugar, creamer, six cups and six saucers. Excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. Very little crazing and nothing that takes away from the pattern or look. Created in 1933 the graduated black bands on cream background comes alive with bright green detail. In an era of otherwise flowery and whimsical pattern names and embellishment this truly stands out as bold and forward thinking. This pattern is predominately featured in the most important books on Susie Copper and 20th Century Ceramic designers. With the important Kestrel coffee pot!
Today, one usually finds a single cup, a jug or plate at auction. but here is a stunning set of matcing pieces!
Along with Clarice Cliff and Charlotte Rhead, Susie Cooper is famous for introducing vivid colors and avant garde designs to English Pottery and this is one of the finest and most collectable. Her career, highly documented in many books on Art Deco and Ceramics spanned more than 60 years, including her “Deco Era “ work at Crown Pottery in Burslem in the 30s through the 60s and 70s as a master designer at Wedgwood China.

Fabulous WMF German silver-plate coffee service 1930s
Item #1561
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.

Outstanding Mappin & Webb English Silver-plate Art Deco Champagne Ice Bucket

Presented here is a stunning example of Moderne Art Deco design executed in a quality that is very rare not only today but even during the Art Deco period.

WMF 1920 Silver-plate Champagne Bucket Acorns Design
Item #1310
This stunning silver-plated champagne ice bucket was made in Germany by the famous WMF Company, between 1915 and 1920. It bridges both the Arts & Crafts (or in Germany the Art Nouveau) Movement leaning into the Art Deco design. 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. The WMF (Wurttemberg Metal Goods Factory) Company began operations in 1853 and is still one of the world's foremost manufacturers in silver tableware
Glass and Chrome Streamlined vase by Riecke
Item #1294
A distinctive vase, fashioned of heavy etched glass with chrome handled accent. This is another of our collection of pieces that were once used, and perhaps sold, through the legendary La Coupole Restaurant in Paris. La Coupole was founded in 1927 and once a leading center of artistic life. La Coupole is now the epitome of the grand Paris brasserie in Montparnasse. Former patrons included Josephine Baker, Henry Miller, Dalí, Calder, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Picasso. Some of the artists painted on the columns, or added their creations to the decor.
This glass vessel bears the signature of the artist A.Riecke, a Russian who lived and worked in Paris in 1937, the name and date are etched in the glass as part of the decorative detail.

Stunning French Art Deco Fluted 4 Piece Coffee/Tea Service
Item #1286
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.
Silver fluted Art Deco Candlesticks
Item #1285
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.

1920s Art Deco Bronze Vase €¢ Signed by Carl Sorenson
Item #1138
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".
