·This absolutely wonderful piece is up for auction here in Denmark later this month (at a fairly aggressive evaluation of +€2k)... Wouldn't mind presenting a selection of pre-war watches and a few other items in it 🥰

·The Danish take on modernist design and architecture was called 'funkis' - a slightly demeaning play on 'functionalism' and has markedly less expensive woods and a more industrial feel than art deco. I live in Aalborg, a town that houses the longest stretch of funkis architecture in any Danish town and I absolutely love the style. You often see compromises in the decoration as few wanted to go full-on funkis and instead kept most of their old, heavy furniture and so on.
Had you wanted to fully immerse yourself in this 30s design trend, a make-up table like this on would have been a perfect part in your interior decoration:

I was at a flee market today and found this:
That's a thirties Just Andersen (acclaimed Danish silversmith) art deco ring in its original (!!!) box. I quickly consulted SWMBO, but it didn't catch her imagination. The image is a bit misguiding as the stone is actually pretty small. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
EDIT: Hmm, the ring might actually be more of an art nouveau piece than deco...

·I was browsing the upcoming Antiquorum auction this evening and came across this fantastic piece. Dial is grubby, but what a design! It looks like the subseconds dial may have been redone to me. The inlays are great, in my dream they are malachite and onyx but who knows. Too bad they only posted two pictures...

Malachite and onyx, or like so many Art Deco watches, vitreous enamel. An outstanding example.

·My 1929 Hamilton Piping Rock is fairly Deco. The BOC case on my 992 also has some Art Deco influences.
