Interesting Art Deco Objects
Regent Antiques always keeps a good stock of Art Deco furniture, sculpture and other collectable Art Deco objects.
The antiques trade has its up and downs, like any other, and some things become very desirable for a while, and then fade into the background as something else takes its place. Art Deco, however, is one of those styles that seems to persist in the imagination of many people.
The attractive lines and curves that are so characteristic of the style continue to endear themselves to customers of all ages and backgrounds, it is a truly classic style in every sense of the word.
Today, we are turning away from Art Deco furniture for a few minutes while we take a look at Art Deco objects that are both functional and attractive. Where better to start than with this silver plated replica of the renowned Neiman Marcus penguin ice cream scoop. This iconic item of Art Deoc style kitchenware is hand cast with intricate detail and is superbly silver plated. The top unscrews and it can then be filled with warm water so that the ice cream or sorbet can be easily scooped.
Neiman Marcus Silver Plated Art Deco Ice Cream Scoop
Neiman Marcus is a celebrated high-end USA retailer, founded in the early twentieth century by a group of investors who, famously, turned down the chance to invest in the then foundling Coca Cola, opting instead to go into the retail business. They’ve done well, no doubt about that, but, like the chap that turned down the Beatles, those concerned must have often had that “if only” feeling. The company is still going strong to this day.
This scoop measures just 18cm in height x 5cm wide and 5cm deep. It can be yours for just £40 – free shipping in the UK, other destinations on request.
