FAQs

Art Deco design, prominent in the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by sleek geometric forms, stylised motifs, and functional elegance often executed in metals like silver, brass, and chrome.

Preservation involves gentle dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and minimal use of non-abrasive silver polish only when necessary to protect the underlying metal and historic hallmarks.

It can be displayed functionally on a leather-topped writing desk or as an objet dart on a stack of art books to introduce a touch of historical metallic contrast.

Authenticity is generally verified through makers marks, hallmark stamps indicating silver purity such as the French boars head or Minerva mark, and natural patination consistent with age.

These pieces were typically forged from solid sterling silver or silver plate, often incorporating repurposed commemorative or currency coins into the spring-loaded mechanical design.
