Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1930s:
Translucent cherry-red phenolic beads: cocktail ware popular during the decade.
Streamlined cast swan profile: aerodynamic shapes favoured in modern design.
Chrome plating on the metal body: a bright finish standard in barware.
Moulded wooden plinth with bevelled front corners: customary mounting for table novelties.

This novelty Art Deco cocktail stick set originates from France in 1930. The piece takes the form of a silver-toned chrome swan holding a series of cocktail picks on a dark brown wooden base. The cocktail picks have cherry red Bakelite ball finials atop their metal prongs, creating a distinct contrast against the highly polished metallic body of the swan. The body of the bird is modelled with detailed feathered wings and a curved neck, whilst the rectangular base sits flat underneath. Measuring 14 cm high by 14 cm wide and 7.2 cm deep, this compact barware item suits placement on a sideboard top in a living room, dining room, or home bar. It provides a functional serving accessory for gatherings and drinks parties, bringing period style to interior spaces today.

FAQs

Art Deco novelty barware from the 1930s features streamlined geometric forms, stylised animal motifs, and early synthetic materials such as Bakelite paired with polished chrome plating.

These sets frequently combined chrome-plated metal or brass with Bakelite finials, anchored on painted wood or phenolic resin bases.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate wear on chrome surfaces, correct mould seams on phenolic plastics, and a characteristic chemical odour when Bakelite is exposed to friction or hot water.

A vintage cocktail set functions as an accent piece when displayed on a drinks trolley, sideboard top, or inside a glazed display cabinet alongside modern glassware.

Wipe chrome elements with a soft microfiber cloth and specialised metal cleaner, while keeping Bakelite and wooden components dry to prevent surface clouding or moisture damage.
