FAQs

Art Deco design emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by geometric shapes, clean lines, stylised motifs, and a strong emphasis on modern industrial materials like black enamel and polished metals.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver or base metals, frequently embellished with vitreous enamel, marcasite stones, mother-of-pearl, and occasionally precious gems to highlight the metallic framework.

Authenticity is assessed by examining hallmarks for metal purity, the quality and technique of the hand-applied enamel, the precision of the hinges and clasp, and natural signs of age-related wear on the interior mirror and metal surface.

An antique compact can be displayed on a decorative vanity tray, inside a glass-topped tabletop showcase, or styled as a sophisticated centrepiece on a dressing table alongside other metallic objects.

Silver should be cleaned gently using a non-abrasive microfibre cloth specifically formulated for precious metals, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage fragile enamel surfaces or dislodge inlaid stones.
