Art deco


Art deco clutch
via here


In keeping with the apartment we bought. Wouldn't it be nice to own this beautiful art deco clutch? The art deco period has always been one of my favourite design eras. An antiques dealer specialising in jewellery once told me I looked like 'perfect art deco with a hint of art nouveau'. I think I instantly grew an inch or two. No one had ever looked at my ears quite so intently before or waxed so lyrical about the curve of my neck!  No doubt his compliment was motivated by a desire to sell me a beautiful set of 1930s diamond earrings, but still, I felt really beautiful for about an hour afterwards!  :-)

Do you have a favourite design era?

I am totally with you. I have always been in love with the ArtDeco Period. That´s why I am living in Barcelona in the Modernism quarter. Modernism here is what ArtDecor would be in the more Northern Areas. High ceilings, mosaic tiles floor, coloured glass windows...beginning last century. And yes, this clutch is absolutely amazing!

@ Gudy: Welcome to my blog! So glad you popped in, I hope you stay a while :-)

That sounds amazing, to be living in that area in Barcelona. I LOVE modernism too! Lucky you!
