Art Deco Flatware and Serving Pieces

ART DECO STYLE

Fascination with the Jazz Age is endless, and even today jewelry designers continue to be inspired by authentic Art Deco jewelry and watches.

The Art Deco period, encompassing the 1920s and ’30s, ushered in a very distinct look in the design of jewelry. There were many influences on the jewelry of the era that actually began to take shape prior to the 1920s. In 1909, Serge Diaghilev brought the Ballet Russes to Paris, and women went wild for the company’s exotic and vibrant costumes It’s no wonder, then, that jade, lapis lazuli, coral, turquoise and other bright gemstones became all the rage. There already existed a fascination with the East, particularly China and Japan, and motifs consisting of fans and masks started to show up in Art Deco jewelry.

However, the event that had the greatest influence on Deco was the excavation of the tomb of King Tut in 1922. When the world saw what was hidden in Tut’s burial chamber, it sent just about everyone into a frenzy. Pierre Cartier wrote in 1923 that “the discovery of the tomb will bring some sweeping changes in fashion jewelry.” And he couldn’t have been more right. “Egyptomania” left an indelible mark on all of the major jewelry houses, from Cartier to Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron and Georges Fouquet. (Cartier created some of the most iconic jewelry designs that defined this era.)

While a lot of Art Deco jewelry was black and white — the black coming from the use of onyx or black enamel and the white from rock crystal and diamonds — there is plenty of color in jewelry of the era. A perfect accent to diamonds in platinum settings were blue sapphires, emeralds and rubies, and these stones were also used in combination with each other.

Many designers employed coral, jade and lapis lazuli, too. In fact, some of the most important avant-garde jewelers of the period, like Jean Després and Jean Fouquet (son of Georges), would combine white gold with ebony and malachite for a jolt of color.

A lot of the jewelry produced during this time nodded to current fashion trends, and women often accessorized their accessories. The cloche hat was often accented with geometric diamond brooches or double-clip brooches. Backless evening dresses looked fabulous with sautoir necklaces, and long pearl necklaces that ended with tassels, popular during the Edwardian period, were favored by women everywhere, including Coco Chanel.

A Spanish silver Art Deco flatware service, Jaume Mercade, Barcelona, circa 1930
Located in Cape May, NJ
Antique Art Deco Jaume Mercade Queralt Solid .916 Silver Hand Made 196 Piece Flatware Set that serves 12. The set is complete without a single missing piece. It is in excellent condition, just perfect with a lovely patina. The entire set is hand wrought. The style is a genuine mix of Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Arts & Crafts. The rounded tiered handles are art deco, the hand forged hammer marks tell of their arts & crafts influence and the monogram is the epitome of flowing tendril like art nouveau design. The set is hand made by the studio of Jaume Mercade Queralt (1887 - 1967). Mercade was a painter, jeweler and silversmith who from 1919 taught gold and silver making at the School of Arts & Crafts in Bracelona Spain. While one can occasionally find his original jewelry and paintings on the market his silverware and hollowware is excessively rare and usually only found in museums. This set is hallmarked with Spains pre - 1934 silver hallmarks. From between 1884 - 1934 there were not mandatory silver hallmarks for Spanish silverware however the maker or purchaser could choose to have a professional assayer test the pieces. This large set was assayed by two different Barcelona assayers who have signed the works (except the hollow handled knives). All of the pieces are marked Mercade but some of them have the Spanish crest in wreath signifying that it is at least 916/1000 silver and LBB which is the initials of the assayer. The rest are marked Mercade SA 916/1000 and the other assayers mark which I cannot quite read. The set consists of 196 pieces that Serve 12: 12 - Large Soup Spoons at 7.6" long 12 - Table Spoons at 6.75" 12 - Cream Soup Spoons at 5.9" 12 - Ice Cream Spoons at 5.75" 18 - Teaspoons at 5.75" 12 - Desert / Salad Forks at 7" 12 - Seafood or Cocktail Forks at 5.95" 12 - Regular / Lunch Forks at 6.8" 12 - Dinner Forks at 8.1" 12 - Terrapin Turtle or Ramekin Forks at 5.5" 12 - Breakfast / Desert Knives at 6.75" 12 - Individual Butter Knives at 6.25" 12 - Fish Knives at 8.25" 12 - Luncheon Knives at 7.75" 12 - Dinner Knives at 9.9" 1 - Large Serving Spoon at 10" 1 - Waffle / Croquet Server at 10.20" 1 - Pie / Desert Server at 8.9" 1 - Pickle Fork at 6.6" 1 - Vegetable Serving Spoons at 8.1" 1 - Sardine Fork at 6.05" 1 - Master Butter Knife at 7.05" 1 - Large Meat Fork at 10" 1 - Fish Serving Fork at 9.5" 1 - Fish Server at 11.7" The Knives (Hollow handles and Stainless Steel Blades) weigh a total of 49.035 Troy Oz The solid silver pieces...
