Spotlight on Art Deco

Evoke the grandeur of the 1930s at home with a few statement pieces, or invest in one key item: a Clarice Cliff creation, Lalique glassware, a bronze figurine or a piece of Deco furniture. Art Deco collectibles, furniture especially, are in huge demand today, yet good pieces can still be bought locally for a reasonable price. Look for furniture with the clean lines typical of the period. Classic Art Deco sits comfortably alongside modern, contemporary pieces.

The Art of Clarice Cliff

Clarice Cliff (1899–1972) is one of the most celebrated designers of Art Deco ceramics, known for her freehand designs of brightly coloured triangles and geometric patterns.

A Touch of Class

The sheer vintage luxury of the Art Deco boudoir: a beautiful dressing table laden with the finest perfumes and opulent accessories.

Cocktail Hour

The cocktail was the centrepiece of elegant entertaining in the 1930s, a symbol of style, glamour and sophistication.
