Art Deco Black Grosgain and Bakelite Bag

About the Item

Wonderful Art Deco black grosgrain handbag with a real geometric feel. Dating to the 1930s and in great condition especially considering its age. This bag has an unusual shape being rectangle with angles and "wings." The material used is a black grosgrain and is in excellent condition and free from any damage and is topped off with a Bakelite accent. The frame is made light coloured gold tone metal. The flip up open/close mechanism consists of a apple juice Bakelite bar and a decorative slotted metal accent piece. The combination of the stylised frame and the Deco clasp is a significant part of making this bag stand out from the rest. The interior is spacious and is lined with a black satin material with open slip pockets.

  • Park Sherman 1930 Art Deco Chromed Steel Roller Box With Red And Black Bakelite
    By Park Sherman
    Located in Miami, FL
    Decorative roller desk box designed by Park Sherman. Very decorative desk box, created during the art deco period in America by the Park Sherman Company, back in the 1930. This roller-lid box is very innovative in design and with Avant Garde look. It was crafted in chromed steel with red lacquer and elements in red and black Bakelite. It is fitted with a roller lid, which is in perfect working condition. The Park Sherman Company Park Sherman was an important Springfield company for several decades ending with the sale of the company to a New Jersey firm in 1960. They mass-produced smoking accessories, particularly lighters, as well as a multitude of office, novelty, and other items. The Park Sherman Company operated in Springfield, Illinois until 1960 when it was sold to a New Jersey company. A man named Jacob S. Sherman was the founder of the Park Sherman Company. The company sold miner's supplies (miner's cap lamps, match cases, etc.) and later specialized in things like coin banks and smoking accessories such lighters and cigarette cases. The company's products were sold throughout the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. 'Everdry' was a brand name that Park Sherman used on some of its products.
