There are so many wonderful things about collecting Art Deco......
The Atmosphere
It was the period of Anything Goes! Flappers drinking cocktails, smoking in the street, pulling out their compacts to powder their noses, dancing the Charleston, and rushing about in fast cars. 
The Colours
Black and Chrome.
Red and Black.
The deep orange of Clarice Cliff.
Emerald green and midnight blue.
A touch of Gold!
The flash and sparkle of diamonds! Whether real or not!
Streamlining
The Age of Speed demanded clean, smooth, angular lines, inspired by ocean liners, automobile and aeroplane design. Even Bakelite bracelets were designed to resemble radiator grills.
Stylish Design
That indefinable something that just shouts Art Deco. Is it those subtle parallel lines, or the little ziggurat around the label of the canister. Or the divinely elegant shape of that fountain inspired brooch. Whatever it is, you can't miss true Jazz Age design.
The Fun loving and the Quirky
Above all, it had to be fun! Scottie dog motifs, pop-up cigarette dispensers in the shape of cocktail bars, clowns, harlequins, wall masks, novelty cocktail shakers and swizzle sticks, bookshelves, radios and lamps in the shape of skyscrapers. All just for the sheer joy of life!
So, put on your cloche hat , your beads and your bangles and come for a stroll down delicious Art Deco Lane. We’ll listen to jazz on the wind up gramophone, dance the Charleston and the Tango, play tennis and golf, then motor down to the beach to sunbathe. Later we’ll put our feet up in front of the Bakelite radio and drink tea from our new bizarre teapot, while admiring the latest Paris fashions in Harper’s Bazaar.
We’ll explore the exotic and modern designs of the 1920s and 30s with their fans, sunbursts, chevrons and ziggurats, the fusion of ancient and modern with the craze for Tutankhamen and Ancient Egypt along with jazz, speed and machine age geometry.
