FAQs

Art Deco design, prominent from the 1920s to the 1930s, is characterised by geometric symmetry, stylised motifs, and vibrant enamel work combined with precious metals like sterling silver.

These items are traditionally constructed from sterling silver frames enclosing a glass or crystal base, featuring intricate machine-turned metal under translucent vitreous enamel known as guilloche.

Authenticity is confirmed by examining the hallmarks stamped into the silver, which typically include a makers mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, the town mark for offices such as Birmingham, and a date letter corresponding to the year of assay.

Place the piece prominently on a mirrored vanity tray, dressing table surface, or a mantelpiece to add a touch of period metallic accent and vibrant colour to the room.

Enamel is sensitive to harsh chemicals and abrasives; clean the piece gently using a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately, avoiding prolonged contact with water and commercial silver dips that can damage the enamel surface.
