    Art Deco Bedroom

    I'm moving into an apartment nearer the city in a week or so (time to move the cocktail cabinet away from my friend's house...she's already missing it...). My ever-generous mother announced she was giving me a bed as a housewarming gift. After a day of looking at new beds, I intimated I...

    Liqueurs We Love

    Forgive me if there's another thread that deals with this - I'm happy to see it amalgamated if there's another place more appropriate for it! I've been thinking about the recommendations we see crop up for proper Triple Sec and real Creme Fraise...it seems that now, when we go into a liquor...

    1820s tailcoat

    It's not Golden Age...and is a neat 100 years earlier than my usual era of collecting...but I thought you might like this tailcoat:

    1920s - fashion with fun, whimsy and chic

    Hope no one minds me starting a 1920s fashion thread - I've seen so many fabulous dresses lately that have gone up for high-end auctions, and there have been some amazing examples in recent exhibitions. Miss Bella Hell was kind enough to suggest I start a thread for my 1920s purchases, and...

    Wrecks of "Sydney" and "Kormoran" Found

    Spent much of the day on this at work in the Museum - a huge story down here. All day the news has been full of the stories of those who lost loved ones when the "Sydney" went down, and the years they waited for answers...

    Compactom Gentleman's Closet - help please

    I know very little about furniture, but when my friend showed me this piece, I thought it was something special. I've undertaken to do some research for her - and of course this was a first stop! We were talking about my new cocktail cabinet, and she mentioned this closet in the garage - it...

    Cocktail Cabinets

    Is there a pre-existing thread for this? I've had a search and could find it (under either bar or cabinet), but I have a feeling I've seen one... I know just about everyone has them, but this is my new baby. It's living at my friend's house until I buy an apartment. She was surprised when it...

    Rustic 1930s Movies

    Fascinated when I found this in my grandfather's photographs, documenting life in rural New South Wales and Queensland. It's sort of the polar opposite to those breathtakingly beautiful Art Deco picture palaces of the 20s and 30s. Here we have Gwabegar's rustic answer to the picture palace...

    Wine coloured lipsticks in the 1920s

    Hoping someone more knowledgeable about makeup history can help me with this....most of the extant lipstick shades from the 1920s I've seen or have samples of are in the pink through to deep red spectrum. I have a wine coloured vintage dress with silver beading that I need to accessorise - it's...

    My grandfather - rejected screenwriter!

    My mother has just unearthed a cache of family material - photos, letters, etc - and we're planning on having a session with them later this week. One of the standouts, however, is a movie proposal he put forward to Columbia - a biopic of William Vincent Wallace, titled Maritana. My...

    Show us Your Frameable Prints from Fashion Illustrators

    Sparked by remarks in another thread, I was thinking today about fashion illustrators and how their graphic design work is often so wonderfully evocative of its age. Much of it makes great frameable art. George Barbier (1882 - 1932), in particular, - with his pochoirs for publications like the...

    White suit, white shoes, dark socks...

    I've been going through family photos this afternoon, and found a nice one of my grandfather Morris from the 20s in full Gatsby mode (such a swell tennis player...) His striking combination of white tennis outfit and shoes coupled with black socks brought to mind the many images I have of...

    Chronologically Misplaced Flapper

    After doing quite a bit of lurking, I decided it was impolite to stand in a corner swirling my White Lady...so I've touched my hair to make sure the silver filet and fascinator are in place, shifted the dress so the bead fringes are all untangled and swinging, pulled my shoulders back and walked...
