As a fine example of Art Deco design, this silver cup and cover, with its cast panelled swing handles, stepped base, cover and finial, personify the style of the era. This piece would make an excellent ice container, biscuit box or centrepiece for a small dining table.

Representing modernism, and one of the most exciting styles of the 20th century, Art Deco design originated in the 1920s and developed into a major style in Europe and the United States during the 1930s. Individually crafted luxury items were created with the intention of creating a sleek and anti-traditional elegance that symbolised wealth and sophistication. As a style, Art Deco works are symmetrical, geometric, streamlined, often simple, and pleasing to the eye. Its easy adaptability suits any interior and still influences design today.
