Vintage Art Deco Bakelite Lamp Stand

Jon Nix — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 17:30:16 +0000

An original and very appealing candlestick-style table lamp stand with Art Deco influences and probably dating from the 1930s. Made from Bakelite which is in excellent condition considering its age, the lamp stand features a stepped circular base with push button switch, and a waisted central column. The top and base have a matching edge design which add subtle elegance.

The lamp stand measures approximately 23cm (9 in.) high (including the bulb holder) and the base has a diameter of 12.5cm (5 in.). Please note: the glass shade pictured is of a later design and is for display only. Should you wish to pair it with the lamp stand, and buy both, please get in touch. This items has not been electrically tested, so please be aware that it requires attention and inspection before use. There is a slight wobble to the top of the lamp stand where the bulb holder fits, but this should be an easy fix and doesn't affect the lamp in normal use.

Art Deco Metal Cigarette Box with Faux Wood Design

Jon Nix — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 20:04:56 +0000

Not dissimilar to the shape of a World War One tank, this great little Art Deco cigarette box in metal with hinged lid, features a faux wood effect in two tones and typical geometrical designs. Most likely made for the Squirrel brand of cigarettes, this is an unusual and eye-catching item.

In good overall condition and structurally solid, the box could certainly perform a new role. There is some slight pitting to the top surface and some general signs of age and use throughout, but otherwise the box is clean and cosmetically good, with very little fading to the colours (as is often the case with boxes of this type).

The box measures 9 cm wide by 12 cms deep by 6.5 cm high (3½ in. by 4½ in. by 2½ in.)

Mappin & Webb Art Deco Lidded Muffin Dish designed by Keith Murray

Jon Nix — Mon, 28 Oct 2019 21:58:34 +0000

An iconic design by Keith Murray, this Mappin & Webb muffin dish with a lid (cloche) features stacked rings in the upper section which are then reflected in the plate itself. Made in silver plate dubbed "Mappin Plate" this one has had a replacement knob added which is reflected in the price of the item. The replacement is from a similar contemporary item and is a very complementary alternative to the lost original. There is some minor superficial wear and a few instances of surface pitting but the overall impression of the muffin dish and its lid is very good indeed.

The dish - which in reality is a plate with separate horizontal and vertical sections and steeper sides - measures approximately 15.5cm (6¼ in.) in diameter, with the sloping sides of the plate measuring 3cm (1¼ in.) and the height of the plate being 2cm (¾ in.). The lid or cloche measures approximately 8cm (3¼ in.) from base to the top of the knob, which itself is a little under 3cm (1¼ in.) tall. The base of the cloche has a diameter of approximately 12cm (4¾ in.)

Vintage Foley China “The Cube” Art Deco Square Teapot in White with Green Detailing

Jon Nix — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 15:33:29 +0000

An iconic Art Deco design which featured prominently on passenger ships - particularly the Cunard Line - and was popular from the 1930s to the 1950s, this is the square teapot known as "The Cube". Although variously made by T G. Green, Grimswade, Wedgwood, and Crown Devon amongst others, this one was made by and is marked Foley China of Leicester, is an unusual combination of white ground with green detailing to the slightly proptruding circular spout, lid and handle. The former is made from a shallow chamfer at the front corner, whilst a deeper chamfer at the rear allows room for a handle. The square rim is decorated with a band of green, the colour reflected again in the lid with its recessed handle.

This one is in good general visual condition, bar a hairline crack on the top surface of one of the corners, a minor blemish to the lid, and some internal cracks to the strainer (all pictured). We certainly wouldn't recommend it be used as a functional teapot for these reasons, but we think that the modern design and intriguing nature of the pot is not substantially affected by these defects. It's an unusual piece of Art Deco design and iconic in its own right.

The teapot measures 10cm by 10cm by 10cm (4 in by 4 in by 4 in) with a slightly protruding spout.

Handsome Art Deco Smiths 4 Jewels 8 Day Mantel Clock

Jon Nix — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 21:44:30 +0000

A very attractive and Art Deco-influenced Smiths mantel clock with an eight-day wind and four jewels. The rectangular dark wood casing and numerals are offset by the clock's contrasting blonde face. The clock keeps good time and is fully working with only minor signs of wear and tear (a few nibbles to the wood and some minor rusting to the movement housing at the rear.)

A handsome piece and a large statement - it measures 24cm (8½ in.) across, is 17cm (6½ in.) in height and front to back measures 8cm (3¼in.) including movement housing.

Colourful Coffee Bean Spoons in an Art Deco style by Sipelia of Sheffield (set of 6)

Jon Nix — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 21:58:16 +0000

Made by Sipelia of Sheffield these EPNS coffee spoons feature colourful coffee beans on their handles, and date from the 1930s to the 1950s - broadly in an Art Deco style. They remain usable and in excellent condition (cocktail stirrers, anyone!?), making them suitable for your next coffee morning or indeed as part of a vintage decor display... or cocktails. I think we mentioned cocktails already?

Each spoon measures approximately 10cm (4in). We cannot offer the original box for these items, alas, but they will be carefully packaged.

Bluebird Toffee Tin

Jon Nix — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 16:06:15 +0000

Most likely dating from the 1930s, this large Art Deco inspired Bluebird Toffee tin has you guessed it, a bluebird design on top! An impressive and very decorative tin which features an interior lid which is every bit as appealing as the outer which, with it's gold- and blue-coloured sections, makes quite a bold statement for what was essentially a confectionary container!

In generally very good condition considering its age and usage, this tin measures 22cm by 18cm by 11.5cm (8¾ x 7 x 4½ inches). There's obvious cosmetic wear, but it's structurally sound and the lid fits nice and tightly. A fine example of its type.
