FAQs

Art Deco design emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by geometric symmetry, stylised motifs, and sleek, modern lines that moved away from traditional floral ornamentation.

These pieces typically combined sterling silver casings with translucent enamel work applied over machine-turned engine-turned guilloche patterns, frequently housing a mirror and powder well inside.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks indicating the assay office, metal purity, makers mark, and date letter, alongside traditional craftsmanship techniques like hand-applied enamel and mechanical guilloche texturing.

Such small decorative items are typically displayed on mirrored trays, dressing tables, or glass-topped cabinets to highlight their metallic sheen and vibrant enamel colours.

Silver should be cleaned gently with a specialised microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage delicate enamel surfaces and vintage mirror foils.
