New to the Shop This Week....Thinking Thirties


Come on in, take a seat in our newest Deco club chair, and have a good look around!
Mind where you put your feet though; we're a bit precious about this wee Deco pouffe, so much so that it's not for sale just yet, we can't bear to part with it!




Deco dame Louise is freshly kitted-out in this exhibit-only 20s fringed flapper outfit. which is a sleeveless dress and top. We're slowly building a collection of exhibit-only vintage fashion encompassing all our favourite vintage eras, we'll show a few pieces here and there in our parades but the ultimate purpose of the collection has to remain secret a while longer, I'm afraid!
Lovely solid silky oak china cabinet with unsual fan-shaped mirro attached.



The mirror is not original but is very sympatheitc so we've decided to leave it as is.




Some bakelite-framed beauties



.....are always inspiring!


Beautiful 30s crepe dress which has the most intricate embroidery, horsehair shoulder pads

Engine-turned chrome dresser set



Lots of lamps, I love how Sue has hung some crystals here, just like on someone's dressing table at home.



Hand-embroidered soft silk purse, so gorgeous to touch




Ready for a cocktail yet, girls???

 Your choice of penguin shakers and cocktail cup!



Branching out into the ceramics now....




This one is particularly special, SylvaC numbered vase 1266, one of only 2 ever made so we feel rather privileged to have this one in stock.





The colours are as bright and beautiful as the day it was made in 1936.


50s chrome lady lamp with green slag glass shade. We always have a selection of deco light and lamp shades available, we have this particular shade in pink, blue and green at the moment.



And if all that shopping hasnn't made you feel like a princess, here's a vintage tiara to make sure you do :)

Such lovely items! I love the cabinet with the fan mirror. It does go with the cabinet, so glad you kept it together. For some reason I cannot find your etsy shop, please tell me where.
