FAQs

Art Deco vanity items are characterised by geometric forms, streamlined silhouettes, and industrial materials developed during the 1920s and 1930s.

These pieces typically utilised base metals such as brass or chrome plating, decorated with vitreous enamel, faux tortoiseshell, or Bakelite inlays.

Authenticity is usually determined by hallmarks, weight, the quality of the hinge mechanisms, and hand-applied enamel work typical of mid-20th-century manufacturing.

They are often showcased on dressing tables, inside glass display cabinets, or styled on decorative trays alongside other vanity accessories.

Enamel items should be gently cleaned with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or submersion in water to protect the metal finishes.
