This carefully curated collection encompasses nearly 50 lots and offers a remarkable opportunity for collectors, interior designers and Art Deco enthusiasts alike.
Spanning sculpture, mirrors, furniture, lighting, collectables, ceramics and glassware, the collection captures the elegance, glamour and craftsmanship that define the Art Deco era. From bold geometric forms to sleek, modern silhouettes, each piece reflects the optimism and sophistication of the 1920s and 1930s.
The ceramics category features sought-after china by Susie Cooper and Shelley, two celebrated names synonymous with innovative design and enduring quality. Their distinctive patterns and refined forms remain as stylish and relevant today as when they were first created.
For those looking to elevate their workspace, the collection includes an irresistible array of desktop treasures. “The Art Deco Office” offers:
A three-part desktop set
A novelty lighter in the form of an aeroplane
A pair of bookends
A letter rack
A perpetual desktop calendar
An ATM black bakelite telephone
A globe-shaped barometer
A ‘Foreign’ desktop clock
A pair of reading glasses in a chrome case
These pieces perfectly encapsulate the playful innovation and streamlined elegance that made Art Deco synonymous with modern living.
Collectors of decorative ceramics will appreciate the striking Art Deco wall masks by Beswick and Goebel. These sculptural works add drama and personality to any interior.
The auction also includes advertising posters and sculpture by Josef Lorenzl and followers of the artist. Lorenzl’s elegant bronze figures, celebrated for their fluid lines and graceful forms, are among the most recognisable and desirable works of the Art Deco period.
Several fantastic mirrors featuring coloured detailing further enhance the offering. These statement pieces combine functionality with artistic flair, reflecting both light and the distinctive geometry of the era.
