As we near the end of 2009 we reflect on a year that will go down in history as being life-changing to many people. Trend analyst Dion Chang, in his book ‘The State We’re In’, points to a drastic change in people’s outlook with a strong move to not repeating the mistakes of the past but rather to look for new ideas, new beginnings and most importantly new value systems. It is this return to ethical value systems that has sustained the antiques industry and prompted a renewed interest in collecting antiques and collectables. With a review of what’s important in life comes a return to the values of old, an appreciation of the value of what went before us and a cherishing of what’s worthwhile and valuable. According to Dion Chang people of like mind are banding together in clusters or ‘tribes’ on the basis of shared interests and connectivity with like-minded friends. This is not news to the thousands of antique collectors who have been doing just that for decades. THE SECOND HAND GOODS ACT TO AFFECT DEALERS AND COLLECTORS Our collective passion for antiques and collectables, which in their most rudimentary form are considered ‘second-hand’ goods has put us at the mercy of a new Second Hand Goods Act 6 of 2009 and its Regulations which has been tabled and due to come into effect in 2010. Promulgated to control the movement of all types of second-hand goods (from copper wire to pawn shops) it does also apply to antiques and collectables and requires all antique dealers dealing in second hand goods to be registered in respect of the premises from which they trade and conform to each and every obligation contained in the Act. As many antique dealers do a number of antique fairs around the country, the promulgators of the Act have indicated that, in the interests of policing the activities of large numbers of dealers, associations be formed to represent such groups of dealers and any others who may wish to join. This means that dealers belonging to an association would benefit from one central body undertaking the duties laid out in the Act which include interviewing dealers, maintaining records, drafting reports in terms of the Act, inspections, classifying goods of each dealer and maintaining member registrations. The publishers of The Collector magazine, who also own the Antiques Fair at Nelson Mandela Square and the National Antiques Faire have decided to form the National Antiques & Decorative Arts Association (NAADA) which will represent the dealers who do their fairs and also opens up the association to any dealer who may wish to join and benefit from getting the assistance of a central body who will represent their interests in terms of the Act. Should any dealer be interested in joining the NAADA Association drop us an email – to giuli@gocomms.co.za or contact Giuli on (011) 802-1611. For the thousands of collectors who support the antiques industry, the new Act will require anyone selling or buying antiques to provide details with copies of their identity documents and contact details. This is purely to guard against fraud and the proliferation of stolen goods and is set to protect you as a collector and your collections. The Collector magazine is looking into a loyalty card that will not only allow you to conform to the Act’s regulations but will allow us, as dealers to offer you special discounts and benefits that will make it a win-win situation. To all our dealers and collectors we wish you all a happy and safe festive season and look forward to a spectacular 2010!

With over 70 antique dealers from all corners of South Africa converging on the Upper and Lower Levels of Nelson Mandela Square on the first Sunday of every month, this Antiques Fair is without doubt the biggest and most prestigious antiques & collectables fair in the country.
Monthly Antiques Fair at Nelson Mandela Square SPECIALIST FOCUS EXHIBITIONS The Antiques Fair at Nelson Mandela Square in Johannesburg is the oldest and largest monthly antiques fair in the country showcasing close to seventy antique dealers from all over the country. Whilst most are general dealers there are those who specialise in unique collecting disciplines and the Fair regularly holds focus exhibitions to highlight those specific areas of collecting. COLLECTING OLD CAMERAS Whilst most general antique dealers may, from time to time, pick up the odd old camera, the Fair was privileged to host specialist camera dealer Ivor Ginsberg who is passionate about old cameras and who had some really unique pieces on show. “Cameras like a Kodak panoramic camera from 1902 which moves through an arc of 130% and is made of wood or the Leica m3 that was the camera preferred by photographers during the Vietnam War are just two examples of highly collectable cameras” says Ginsberg. The fascination also lies in wondering who owned it, where it has been, what moment in someone’s life it captured and whether the descendants still have those pictures. EXHIBITION OF OLD MASTERS Debuting at the Nelson Mandela Square Fair for the first time was a unique exhibition of South African Old Masters which was held in November. Specialist art dealers Ilse French and Associated Art Holdings exhibited and sold some impressive art including works by J.H. Pierneef, Sydney Carte, Cecil Skotnes, Gregoire Boonzaier, W.H. Coetzer, Maud Sumner, Tinus de Jonge, Errol Boyley, Buchner and Batha. A rare Pierneef, Oil on Canvas ‘Trees in an Extensive Landscape’ from his Cubist period drew much attention as did an Otto Klar Still Life with Flowers – rare because of its size and its quality. The Antiques Fair at Nelson Mandela Square will continue to hold specialist exhibitions. If you are a specialist dealer or a collector who would like us to bring together a group of dealers to showcase a particular collecting discipline, email us at clyde4th@mweb.co.za and we will try and organise an exhibition sale. The Antiques Fair takes a break over the festive season and will resume on Sunday 7th February 2010.

Art Deco and The Functionality of Deco In The House Article by - Paul Mrkusic of Bancroft
N
amed after the 1925 “Exposition International des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes” (International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Art) in Paris where the style first began appearing, Art Deco was a popular international design movement from 1920 to 1939 and affected most areas of design including architecture, interior design, industrial design, the visual arts and fashion, painting and film. This movement is said to be an amalgamation of many different styles from the early 20th century, peaking in Europe during the roaring twenties, its influence continued in America until the 1930’s.
the bachelor pad for any aspiring metrosexual. But the look is also often sleek and clean, and can even be very decorative, so any look is possible.
There were two types of producers of Art Deco: the first concentrated on individual pieces made by skilled craftsmen with price tags only the very rich could afford. The other was designers who took advantage of mass production, thankfully for the art deco enthusiast with a smaller budget!
Today, very little Art Deco furniture has actually survived. A visit to any antiques fair will demonstrate this: for every thousand pieces of earlier traditional furniture you see, you may see only a handful of Art Deco examples, and not all of them in salvageable condition.
There are fabulous examples of Art Deco in South Africa but none better than those in Durban which the enthusiast can experience with a drive through the city centre and the Berea. Johannesburg also has its gems, with some wonderful examples in the CBD, many adorned with stylized relief sculptures. There are also some magnificent apartment blocks in Killarney that are still very well maintained, as well as some 1930’s Hollywood style homes in Houghton. Due to the bold and clean lines of Art Deco, the style blends in easily, and adds an extra layer to the overall design concept. The theme can still be modern, but mixing in a few Art Deco pieces, together with a couple of carefully chosen pieces from earlier periods, the interior will start to take on a more eclectic and interesting feel as a result. And you will have fun doing it! Whether its sculpture, glassware, or furniture, the hunt for great Art Deco pieces is all part of the game. There are wonderful shops in all the cities, as well as some of the smaller towns, across the country. In some you might be lucky to find a good piece, but others, like Bancroft, specialize in Art Deco, with several options – conventional to exceptional – making it easier to find the right piece to suit your requirement and pocket. You will also have the benefit of getting professional advice from someone who knows his stuff. More than that, most specialists are happy to give on-going advice at no extra cost, phoning you when new pieces come in, and sourcing particular items to suit a space in your home. When it comes to furniture, items are usually large and make a statement, so a little can go a long way. Because of its often masculine look, Art Deco is particularly well-suited to the design requirements of
The
Collector 6
While the appreciation in Art Deco has gradually been increasing over the last few years, it is worth taking note of just how rare good examples are: because of its avant-garde appearance when the style was being propagated, not everyone at the time was ready to embrace it, and as much of it was made using experimental and less-expensive methods, so a lot did not stand the test of time. It then went through a period when it was extremely unfashionable.
There is little doubt that, while it may initially seem expensive, investing in a good piece or two will reward you with a good return in years to come… and you get to enjoy it in the meantime! Prices can vary from the very affordable (starting at R1000), all the way to the top end of the scale (in excess of R100 000 for exceptional items). Certain items are in greater demand, and thus are harder to source, and are generally more expensive because of this. Exceptional museum-quality Art Deco design by reputable craftsmen and manufacturing houses, such as Raymond Hille, or Harry and Lou Epstein are highly sought-after and extremely rare. The materials used and overall condition will affect the price further. For example, upholstered lounge suites of exaggerated proportions and bold Art Deco styling, with exposed wood detailing – either in walnut, maple or mahogany – are very popular, so you could expect to pay in excess of R20 000 for a good threepiece suite. Others that are more plain and compact in design, with exposed oak detailing, are often a lot more affordable. Most modern homes now have plenty of built-in storage, so the demand for wardrobes and cupboards is low, and good ones can be bought for next to nothing. The overall condition affects the price enormously, and this is often where novices get caught! Condition can be difficult to evaluate, especially at a first glance, or if you do not know what to look for. And certain damage is easier to restore. Almost all upholstered furniture has had to be reupholstered at some point, and this is generally seen as not affecting the integrity of the item, so long as it is done with respect to the age of the piece. Here knowledgeable advice is indispensable. Reputable dealers and specialists tend to be seen as more expensive, but their stock is often of a much higher standard when it comes to design and condition, so you could be getting much better
value for money at the end of the day. You could find a sofa in a junk shop that, with a bit of love and some TLC, might be transformed into something fabulous, but you need to remember, however a good deal it might initially seem, woodwork can be expensive and reupholstery can be exorbitant, and you could have been better off purchasing the finished product at a specialist while at the same time avoiding a whole lot of trouble. Apart from furniture, you could decide to invest in decorative Art Deco items for your home, such as glassware or a bronze or two. Art Deco has become highly desirable and this trend is certain to continue, especially as the period approaches the 100 year “Antique” benchmark, so the perceived value will increase for years to come. So, while buying beautiful objects for your home, you have the added benefit of investing your money in something that is likely to increase in value. Here again, unless you have significant personal knowledge, liaising with an expert is essential. And the spectrum is limitless! Whether it’s a Lalique or Daum glass vase (depending on the piece, can cost anything from R10 000, to R1 000 000 for the rarest pieces), Clarice Cliff porcelain, a Spelter or bronze figurine (R5 000 and upwards), a chrome and glass lamp (staring at R2000), a picture frame, tea set, or any other unusual and quirky object (a few hundred Rand), a collection can start anywhere. As with anything, the more that is known about an item, the more desirable it becomes to a collector, and thus the higher its value. The age, condition, designer, manufacturer, and rarity all contribute to this, as does its provenance (who it belonged to or was sold by). When buying as an investor, buy the best that you can afford, but always make sure you like what you are buying. Collecting is all about passion, and if a piece doesn’t speak to you, rather leave it behind. Finally, beware of fakes and reproductions! The Art Deco period had a huge impact on 20th Century design. It was revolutionary and forward thinking in its approach, both stylistically and in terms of design and manufacturing methods, and was incredibly popular and has proved to have longevity. Because of this, many items were later copied and reproduced, much of it happening at this very moment. But Art Deco is associated with a particular period in history, its style being very specific to that era, and so true Art Deco pieces have to have come from that same time frame. Later copies will only ever have a fraction of the value of an original piece. With all this in mind, the over-riding idea is about enjoyment, and however you go about collecting Art Deco, make sure that you have fun doing it!

LOUIS VUITTON Louis Vuitton Head Quarters situated on the famous Champs-Elyseés in Paris
A Louis Vuitton store in Yekaterinburg (Russia)
TRAVELLING THROUGH TIME One of modern luxury’s most remarkable journeys started on foot, in 1835. At the age of 14, LOUIS VUITTON left his native village of Anchay in the remote Jura mountains, near the Swiss border, to walk the 250 miles to a new life in Paris. He came from a family of miller carpenters, and in the course of his journey – though he turned his hand to many tasks in order to pay his way – he sought to master the art of woodwork, honing his skills on beech and poplar. It was to prove a valuable experience. In 1837 LOUIS VUITTON arrived in Paris and apprenticed himself to monsieur Maréchal, a reputed layetier-emballeur, the term used in those days for makers and pakers of travellers’ trunks. With the dawn of the age of travel – France’s first railway line was inaugurated in 1837, while in 1838 a European steamer made the first atlantic crossing unaided by the wind – the capital’s layetiersemballeurs were very much in demand. They specialized in folding and packing the extravagant gowns beloved of the second Empire into poplar cases, which they measured and made by hand. LOUIS VUITTON was already his employer’s chief assistant when, in 1853, he received the ultimate honour of becoming the favourite specialist of Empress Eugénie. Where Royalty led, fashionable society followed, and so, in 1854 – the year he married – LOUIS VUITTON took the momentous decision to establish his own company, with his wife, he opened premises at number 4, Rue Neuve Des Capucines (the present-day Rue Des Capucines), a stone’s throw from the Palace Vendôme and the site of the future opera house.
THE BIRTH OF MODERN TRAVEL But perhaps the most important decision in that year of major decisions came when LOUIS VUITTON chose to cover one of his trunks with coated canvas – a material that was both highly durable and perfectly waterproof. Four years later, in 1858, he presented a new product. Designed for ease of transport, this trunk had a flat lid and a poplar structure, over which was stretched superior-quality grey Trianon canvas, glued down so as to make it completely waterproof. The exterior was fitted with metal corners, handles and brackets, and riveted beech-wood slats. The interior contained an array of trays and compartments, enabling not only garments, but every other essential accessory of elegant dressing to be transported with the utmost care and convenience. The Vuitton trunk was born, and with it modern travel. In 1875, a new trunk was added to the Vuitton catalogue. It was designed to be opened vertically with, on one side, a hanging closet and, on the other, a set of drawers, thus sparing travellers the chore of unpacking once they reached their destination. The “Wardrobe” remains perhaps the most iconic and evocative of all Vuitton creations.

Another decisive invention of the Georges Vuitton era was the “unpickable” lock with multiple tumblers, which was introduced in 1890 and soon equipped every item of luggage produced by the company. Each customer was given a personal lock number, enabling them to open all their luggage with a single key. The system is still just as effective today.
THE MAKING OF MONOGRAM However, the defining moment for LOUIS VUITTON as a luxury brand came six years later, in 1896. Searching for an image that would instantly identify his products, Georges Vuitton spent weeks sketching different motifs. At last, a finished pattern emerged, inspired perhaps by traditional Japanese emblems – this was, after all, the era of Japonisme, the craze for all things Japanese. It comprised a circle around a four-petal flower motif, a four-point star, a diamond with concave sides containing, in negative, the same four-point star, and finally, interwoven, the initials of his father, who had died four years before. It was this motif that gave the pattern its name. In 1897, the Monogram canvas was registered as a design, and in 1905, as a brand. Meanwhile, alongside rigid trunks and cases, the company had begun to produce an entirely new form of luggage – soft bags. The first of these, the “Steamer Bag”, introduced in 1901, was a large rectangular bag designed to be packed flat in a trunk, then hung up in a corner of the cabin to store dirty linen on ocean crossings. Though it is now put to more glamorous purposes, the “Steamer Bag” remains one of LOUIS VUITTON’S all-time cult designs. It was not until the 1920s, however, with the launch of the “Keepall”, that soft bags literally came out of the closet. The precursor of all travel bags, the “Keepall” anticipated a new trend for chic weekending, and over the years has been a favourite of the world’s most elegant travellers. Not until 1959 did Georges Vuitton’s son, Gaston-Louis Vuitton, and his successor, Claude-Louis Vuitton, succeed in developing a supple waterproof coating that enabled soft bags to be made in Monogram canvas.
A GLOBAL BRAND As early as 1885, the company opened a store on London’s Oxford Street, while in 1898, Georges Vuitton, convinced of the commercial potential of the New World, crossed the Atlantic to New York and signed a distribution agreement with John Wanamaker, the owner of a large department store chain, to sell his trunks first in New York and Philadelphia, and later in Boston, Chicago, Washington and Los Angeles. Over the following decades, a host of Hollywood stars – Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Marlene Dietrich, Ginger Rogers, Cary Grant, Lauren Bacall – as well as America’s leading families, among them the Rockefellers and the Vanderbilts, joined the crowned

LOUIS VUITTON Louis Vuitton Head Quarters situated on the famous Champs-Elyseés in Paris
A Louis Vuitton store in Yekaterinburg (Russia)
In 1912, as the heart of Paris shifted westwards, Georges Vuitton ordered the construction of a fine Art Nouveau building on the Champs- Elysées, which was inaugurated in 1914 as the company’s flagship store. By a neat irony of Parisian geography, the building – on whose façade the inscription Louis Vuitton, malletier à Paris, maison fondée en 1854 is still visible – is almost exactly opposite the modern Louis Vuitton flagship on the most famous avenue in the world. All LOUIS VUITTON stores worldwide – currently over 340 and counting – are wholly controlled by the company. Meanwhile, in 1987, Louis Vuitton merged with Moët Hennessy to form LVMH, the world’s largest and most successful luxury goods group.
KNOW-HOW TRADITION AND MODERNITY
The nerve centre of LOUIS VUITTON is unquestionably Asniéres – indeed, it is here that new recruits come to acquire a true feel for the business. In Asniéres, the past is represented by the former VUITTON family home with its daring Art Nouveau reception rooms, preserved just as the last residents left it, and the Musée Du Voyage, which displays the company’s landmark creations, as well as an exceptional collection of Renaissance and 17th-Century studded trunks amassed primarily by Gaston-Louis Vuitton, Georges Vuitton’s eldest son.
A TRADITION OF SPECIAL ORDERS
It is at Asnières that, according to time-honoured practice, master craftsmen train their apprentices in the skills they need, that all Louis Vuitton’s hard-frame luggage is made, and that limited edition bags are created for the fashion shows. It is here, too, that the glorious tradition of special orders is perpetuated under the personal supervision of Patrick-Louis Vuitton, who represents the fifth generation of the Vuitton family. In 1925, at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, after which the Art Deco style was named, one of the most remarked-on exhibits was Louis Vuitton’s Milano toiletry case. This sumptuous piece, lined with red morocco leather, contained a lavish array of more than fifty items, including crystal bottles with silver stoppers, vermeil shaving accessories and ivory-handled brushes. To produce such splendours, Gaston-Louis Vuitton, who was vicepresident of one of the Exhibition committees, maintained close ties with the greatest names in French design, among them Lalique and Puiforcat.
in India, Russia, China and South Africa underlined the spiralling success of the brand. In October 2005, the reopening after lavish renovation of the historic Champs-Elysées house represented a fitting culmination to the first 150 years of a company whose sights are set firmly on the future. Meanwhile, all Louis Vuitton stores feature a display of antique Vuitton trunks alongside the latest products, uniting tradition and modernity in a glorious reminder of the company’s rich heritage, and ensuring that each and every store is a fascinating journey through the world created by LOUIS VUITTON. What is, and always has been, unique about LOUIS VUITTON is a very special blend of tradition,innovation, craftmanship and creativity, history and modernity. It is this that has ensured that, over 150 years, from the invention of icons such as the “Wardrobe” and the “Keepall” to its launch as a fashion label, LOUIS VUITTON has never ceased to be of its time. Since 1854, LOUIS VUITTON has been synonymous with the art of Travel. But, however compelling, the lure of discovering new destinations in style is not alone sufficent to explain the extraordinary aura of what is now – by some margin – the world’s leading luxury brand. Luggage from the 19th to mid-20th Century is increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate the quality and historic value of this golden age of travel. Much of this old luggage was thrown out as worthless junk in the Sixties and Seventies, but became collectible in the Eighties when colonial fashions came back into vogue. Trunks and suitcases that were thrown out a few years ago can now fetch thousands of rands. Top examples have doubled in value over the past decade. Some designer trunks are prized as items of furniture, such as coffee or bedside tables. In Tommy Hilfiger‘s home, a vintage Louis Vuitton trunk is used as a coffee table. Visit antique shops, markets, fairs and auctions to find similar items to use in your home. Most importantly enjoy finding these treasures and adding to your collection.
So it was in a spirit of modernity that, in 2004, Louis Vuitton celebrated its 150th anniversary. Around the world, from New York to Hong Kong, from Tokyo to Shanghai, giant marquees inspired by Vuitton trunks were erected in spectacular tribute to the company’s founder, while major store openings

75 4th Avenue Melville, Johannesburg. Tel: (011) 482-3266 Cell: 082-883-4933 Website: www.clydeon4th.co.za Well known not only as an antiques dealer who runs his successful antiques business from a beautifully restored house in Melville, Clyde Terry is also a mover and shaker in the antiques business, running not only the highly successful monthly Antiques Fair at Nelson Mandela Square, the newly opened Antiques Fair at Killarney Mall and the National Antiques Faire but is also responsible for the phenomenal growth and popularity of the antiques industry – be it by mentoring new dealers or encouraging younger people to collect. His antiques shop is a treasure trove of exquisite furniture, scintillating silver, highly collectable porcelain, sought after art as well as chandeliers, light fittings and general collectables. On the question of whether now is the time to buy antiques, Clyde reports with confidence that through every recession, antiques have become the investment of choice. “There is no question that people are looking for alternate investments to the stock market where you only realise your return when you sell. With top-end antiques you have tangible assets that you can enjoy and that will, over time always give solid returns.” People are also buying antiques for both decorative and practical reasons and are finding a myriad alternate uses for traditional antiques. An old linen press can once housed the TV is now a DVD storage unit or a drinks cabinet, and smaller furniture pieces are used to store linen and bathroom accessories.

THE ALLURE OF PERFUME AND PERFUME BOTTLES
“I send thee this sweet perfume a fragrance to the fragrant, as one would offer wine to the god of wine.” – Old Saying
P
erfume is one of history’s most enduring pleasures and like wine has inspired many a poet, ignited many love affairs and brought endless pleasure to those who have tried to capture its essence. From the Egyptians who discovered the many spices and flower aromatics from the East and India and used perfume, oils and potions in religious and love rituals - to the ancient Greeks and Romans who blended flower fragrances with their olive and almond oils creating massage oils and potions that were used extensively in their very elaborate bath rituals, perfumes remain one of life’s great pleasures. With the culture of ritual bathing and pampering made popular by both the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, the latter having their own ‘unctuarium’ still to be seen at the great Caracalla baths in Rome, the art of sorting, steeping and storing spices, flowers and essences called for the use of a range of containers of varying sizes made from a variety of materials. Ancient Egyptians used containers made of wood, stone and alabaster, often sculpted into figures of people and animals to store perfume. As perfume played a large part in the preparation of the dead, many examples of perfume containers have been found in Egyptian tombs. Later, having invented glass, the Egyptians used elaborate and colourful glass to store and carry their perfume. In Europe perfume was used extensively by the Catholic Church who used it during Mass in the form of stationary incense lamps or swinging pendulum burners. Royalty and the wealthy started to use perfume extensively and it was a common practice in the European courts for the Kings, Queens and courtiers to never bathe but to continually douse themselves in perfume to hide their bad smell! Perfume containers became very elaborate made from glass, gold, silver, porcelain, with semi-precious stones and shells and designed by artists, jewellers, gold and silversmiths. Perfume also became ‘portable’ – carried in pendants around the neck, pinned to clothing, hung from belts and perfume-soaked fabric was inserted into rings and earrings. Most collectable perfume bottles come from the 19th and 20th Century and include crystal bottles with a variety of different bottle tops in silver, gold and other materials.

PART 1
By the late 19th Century Grasse in Provence, France became the heart of the perfume industry where it is said that the leather workers used fragrances to disguise the foul smell whilst treating leather. By the 19th Century perfume had evolved with the discovery of various organic chemicals that could be used in the making of dyes and perfumes and by the 20th Century we had the advent of the ‘designer’ perfumes – many of whom, like Givenchy, Worth, Patou, Rochas and Dior endure to this day. As perfume became more mass-produced and more accessible to the general public, many people bought perfume in plain glass bottles and then bought elaborate containers to store and display their perfumes. After World War I many American soldiers brought perfume from Paris back to their sweethearts and the romantic allure of perfume once again became popular. With the popularity of designers such as Chanel and Dior perfume soon became a ‘fashion’ item and the bottles created for the various fragrances were often more important than the fragrances they contained. In the twenties there was a fascination with everything to do with mascarades and the perfume bottles of the era reflected this – from the red mask motif of ‘Masque Rouge’ to Rosine’s ‘Arlequinade’ costume bottle complete with a hat as a stopper. Soon crystal glass manufacturers like Baccarat, Brosse and Lalique were designing exclusive perfume bottles for some of the most prestigious fashion and cosmetics houses. Two of Baccarat’s most exclusive designs were made in 1927, the ‘Silver Butterfly’ by Delettrez made of pink crystal with silver ornamentation and ‘Astris’ by L.T. Piver was a bottle shaped like a 6-pointed star. Perhaps the most celebrated perfume of the 1920’s was Chanel’s No 5 and it caused a storm because its simple bottle design reflected Chanel’s almost ‘masculine’ fashion trend of the time.
Issue 10 December/January/February
The perfumes of the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s reflected the movies of the time – whether it was the brooding allure of France’s Edith Piaf, the sexuality of Hollywood’s Marilyn Monroe or the voluptuousness of Italy’s Sofia Loren. Lalique designed the modern bottle resembling New York skyscrapers for ‘Je Reviens’ by Worth whilst Jean Patou released his perfume ‘Normandie’ in 1935 inspired by the luxury ship the Normandie and passengers on its maiden voyage were given a souvenir model of the Normandie liner which had the crystal perfume bottle hidden inside. Although each war and economic recession caused a slump in the perfume industry, it always seemed to be able to revive itself as was the case post World War II when memorable perfumes such as ‘Miss Dior’ was launched in clear elegant crystal Baccarat bottles and Nina Ricci’s famous ‘L’Air du Temps’ with its sunburst shaped bottle and dove stopper. The launch of perfumes for men led to some unusual bottles, the most memorable one was ‘Monsieur Marquay’ by Marquay in the 1950’s which was designed by Salvador Dali and featured an elegant man with a top hat and bow tie. The box was white with Dali’s moustache and signature. Perfume bottles continue to be works of art in their own right and designers like Pierre Dinand’s 1980’s and 90’s bottles and Serge Mansau are today’s modern day perfume bottle designers. Jewellers like Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Tiffany, Bvlgari, Chopard and Boucheron have also become perfume designers launching their fragrances in unique bottle designs whilst the classic Baccarat and Lalique continue to design high quality perfume bottles which are destined to be tomorrow’s collectables.
“A woman without perfume is a woman without future.” - Coco Chanel Whether you prefer the intensity of a concentrated Parfum with 22% essential oils, an Eau de Parfum (EDP) at 15 to 22%, an Eau de Toilette (EDT) with 8 to 15% or the weaker Eau de Cologne (at 4% essential oil) or the newer Eau Fraiche (with only 1 to 3% essential oil), you are probably drawn to one or more of the major fragrance categories of Floral, Oriental, Floriental, Chypre, Green Marine and Fruit made up of a range of spicy and sweet smells ranging from anise, bergamot, cardamom, cedar, eucalyptus, frankincense to the sweeter gardenia, jasmine, lavender, lemon lilac, lily of the valley, magnolia, orange, patchoulie, pine, rose, vanilla, ylang-ylang and many others. Perfumiers believe our olfactory senses pick up: A TOP NOTE – the initial smell that one picks up which attracts us to the perfume. THE MIDDLE NOTE – is considered the ‘heart’ of the fragrance and gives us the overall ‘bouquet’ which starts to assimilate with our own unique skin chemistry and can take up to 20 minutes to fully develop on the skin. THE BASE NOTE – is the long-lasting fragrance that will linger with you for the duration of the experience. Parfumiers blend the various fragrances to give us the full experience of the fragrance through the three stages and a perfume should always be comforting but full of surprise notes and tones. Whether you are a perfume connoisseur or a novice at collecting, enjoy smelling, feeling and touching perfume bottles and fragrances to add to a collection. Fragrances truly are “Scent - sational”.

TIPS ON WEARING PERFUME: •
Always apply to pulse points, folds in the elbow, knees, wrist, neck and cleavage.
•
Spraying and walking into the scent helps diffuse it over your body and try and use layers of the same perfume in bath gels, lotions and sprays.
•
Keep bottles tightly stopped, away from direct heat and out of sunlight. Old perfumes take on a darker colour.
•
Don’t make up your mind on a perfume by the first whiff – often a perfume ‘develops’ on your skin and becomes deeper in intensity and appeal.
TIPS ON COLLECTING PERFUME BOTTLES: •
Focus on a particular collecting discipline – either by maker (eg. Lalique, Baccarat, Galle etc), material (eg. Crystal glass, with silver) or a combination of the two or go for bottles in the shape of animals, flowers, figures etc.
•
Check the overall condition of the bottle for chips, scratches, stains or cracks.
•
The condition of the label is also very important. Check for fading, smudging and chipping.
•
Make sure the bottle and stopper match. In fine French crystal bottles, the number on the base and stopper should match.
•
Commercial perfume bottles in their original boxes are worth more so try and find a perfect box presentation.
•
Check for markings from the famous companies like Lalique, Baccarat, Tiffany, Daum, Nancy, Galle or the many Czecho-Slovakian bottle makers.

Creating French Interiors French interior design is about creating spaces with a truly original flair - and the occasional healthy dash of flamboyance. A French interior sets the mood for unique and timeless interiors in any home. While adorning your interiors in tune with the French interior design style you can opt for antique or heirloom furniture. They not only add meaning to your interiors but also serve to make them exquisitely beautiful. If you’re into French home decorating, something gilded, or at least something polished to a high sheen, is an absolute must to create a true French feeling! While selecting the colors to work with when decorating a room in a French theme you must see to it that they are vibrant and full of life as the French people held a fascination for both the bright and subtle shades. The sun-drenched shades such as Yellow, Orange, Purple, Red & Blue or the muted hues should be blended well to give your interiors an elegant look and feel. The choice of color would depend on the light it receives and the most preferred French option is to select one color and than opt for different shades of the same in the same room.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR TO CREATE BREATHTAKING FRENCH INTERIORS: •
Sheer linen curtains which look heavy and expensive
•
Elaborate curtain tie backs in gold or silver with a “gilded look”
•
Add charm to the kitchen with red and white or blue and white checkered spice jars & matching checkered kitchen curtains
•
Add Mediterranean hues to the garden with ornately decorated terracotta pots-filled with a variety of Lavender
•
Window treatments should always have layered fabrics to create the perfect look
FOR THE FRENCH BEDROOM : Louis bed heads in Walnut or painted finish, sleigh beds, French curved beds and matching bedside cabinets and consoles. These look most stylish if upholstered in fabrics such as Toiles de Jouy. A small Bergere, Louis salon chair or Louis bed-end stool and carved chest of drawers can complete the setting.
FOR THE DINING ROOM: Search on auctions, antique shops or online for Louis, French provincial, farmhouse and refectory dining tables. French style chairs, fully upholstered chairs, Louis chairs and French farmhouse ladder-back chairs work well to create the perfect setting. Finish the look off with matching or ornate dining room sideboards, display cabinets, side servers or consoles filled with pretty glass bowls filled with bunches of fresh or dried Lavender. The interiors come to life with elaborate heavily draped Toiles de Jouy fabric finishing off the interior and creating the perfect French ambiance.
FOR THE FRENCH LOUNGE: Make a concerted effort to find a French Daybed, Bergeres, Louis armchairs and sofas, Louis coffee tables with cabriole legs, side tables, French mirrors and a large selection of French Aubusson style rugs. As a finishing touch in this interior we suggest French chandeliers, wall lights and French framed prints which will complete your setting and make your lounge the envy of all your friends and family.
FOR THE STUDY OR FRENCH STYLE OFFICE: Louis desks, bookcases and cabinets to make studying or working an elegant pleasure. For larger studies add a French daybed, matching Louis coffee tables again with cabrio legs and a couple of French mirrors with heavily gold framed paintings. The setting is stylish and elegant and you will never want to leave the office! French themed interiors truly are stylish and never date, whatever you do remember it’s about the art of making everyday life really, really enjoyable.

Having scooped the coveted “Best of Joburg Antique Shop” title for four years in a row was a highlight for well known antique dealers Christiaan and Sonia Scholtz from Die Ossewa in Melville, Johannesburg. More recently they launched their showcase at “Arts on Main” featuring industrial pieces and are utilising their 1800sqm 3-level Warehouse in Selby – both in central Johannesburg.
P
art of the success of Die Ossewa is keeping their ever expanding showrooms stocked with a collection of quality pieces – that’s why Christiaan and Sonia now mainly focus on sourcing from regions that traditionally have been home to exceptional antiques. Countries vary from “easy access” countries, the likes of England and Belgium to the almost ”impossible’s” like Argentina and Hungary. Christiaan says although buying antiques in these foreign countries is perceived to be an exciting adventure it proves to be hard work which comes with high risks and hidden expenses: “Buying a piece takes 5 seconds and then only does the work start: loading, dismantling, wrapping, packing and off course the dreaded paperwork – invoices, import permits, tax clearance certificates – and a hundred other problems”.
C
osts vary from a 20ft to 40ft container and there are a lot of hidden costs, in general if everything goes well your additional landed cost is approximately 50% of what you paid for the item after VAT, taxes and other costs have been calculated – i.e. if you paid R1000 for an item, by the time it arrives in South Africa, your cost is R1500, thus you know what you are buying. The general rule applies: the more value in the container, the cheaper the transport. Packing of a container is an art form in itself and we never try to save money on the packers - they make or lose you money in an instant – we always hire professional Antique packers even if we have to fly them from one country to the next. Wrapping materials are a must for obvious reasons and a great deal of times goes into getting the paperwork 100% - a container can get bogged down for months waiting for paperwork with a US$600 per day holding charge.. I have been there and it is not an experience I want to relive again” When asked why they do it, Christiaan answers contently ” It’s a question my wife asks me every time we go through the stress.. I lost one container on the Agalhus, a Safmarine ship when it sank just outside the East London harbour in the Eastern Cape… Customs that unpack your containers – re pack with half the items broken… Why do it? the answer is simple – we absolutely have a passion for what we do – not being in an office from 8 to 5 and we meet great people, some odd ones in-between but it’s great. We get to travel and experience the world and its people. Our Antiques business affords us this wonderful opportunity…” We work just about 7 days a week – talk, eat, drink and sleep antiques – some would say unbalanced – maybe – but we wouldn’t exchange our lives for anything!!!

The Year ends on a High Note for Dunne’s With the end of the year upon us, we reflect on a year that many might call a ‘annus horribilus”! Whilst in general it has been a mixed bag of a year, it is ending on a high for Dunnes Africa! At auctions earlier in the year Royal Doulton was not a favourite, but this was not the case on our end of October sale when we had a number of really great Royal Doulton figurines on offer. Silver is also attracting the bidders. Items that sold at the end of October included a Mappin & Webb silver 4 piece tea set which sold for R10 450 (inc buyer’s commission); the Royal Doulton Balloon man for R1 650, Royal Doulton’s King Wencelas for R1 430. On the art side a small Gabriel de Jongh oil on canvas of a ‘Homestead below Mountains’ sold for R13 750.
“Lladro Clown face”
Besides their normal auctions, Dunnes held an auction in Melville of a Springbok rugby player’s part private collection of antiques and fine art. The auction was well attended and fetched good prices on a number of items including a JH Amshewitz painting called the “Benediction” which sold for R35 750 (inclusive of buyer’s commission); a 19th century inlaid ebony elephant for R13 750; an early Walter Battiss watercolour of “Rural huts with figures” which sold for R28 600.
With a reputation for auctioning unusual items, our October 3rd auction saw a number of stationary engines going under the hammer. These are engines which do not move but are used to drive a piece of immobile equipment such as a pump or power tool. These machines attracted a number of the serious buyers and the Petters stationary engine sold for R10 560 and the Lister stationary engine sold for R9 350. At other auctions the following was achieved: Gerard Bhengu, watercolour of a Zulu Nyanga media Marie Vermeulen Breedt, Still Life, oil on canvas A 1920’s delivery bicycle (in perfect working order!) A 1921 Pianola with over 80 rolls of music Pair of Africana stinkwood armchairs Moorcroft vase “Under Tuscan Sun”

Spillers Wharf - Old Sugar Mill Road, Port Shepstone, KZN Spiller’s Wharf is a unique lifestyle centre, situated on the banks of the Mzimkhulu River in Port Shepstone, on the lower South Coast of KZN. Originally a power station and later a fish factory, the Wharf is now an exciting local landmark that retains elements of both its industrial and harbour past. Spiller’s Wharf is a collection of individual businesses that sell unique products that showcase the best of the South Coast. These include food, art, antiques, fresh seafood, crafts and coffee. When the beach gets too much, or you can’t stand another shopping centre, head on down to Spiller’s Wharf to experience one of the most interesting and relaxed venues the South Coast has to offer. We highly recommend the Belgian Waffles you can enjoy on deck whilst taking in the breathtaking view! Directions: From the toll road South bound from Durban, take the St Faiths Road Turnoff. Leaving the toll booth, turn right crossing over the main highway. Take the first left to “Batstones Drift”. Cross over the River and turn left at the T-Junction. Follow the bends and Spiller’s Wharf is on the Left.

Leaving Johannesburg’s rat-race behind the Saunders settled in the seaside town of Port Shepstone on the Kwa-Zulu Natal South Coast a few years ago and opened their antique shop at the historic Spillers Waterfront Lifestyle and Entertainment Centre on the banks of the Mzimkulu River outside Port Shepstone. Just 100 km south of Durban, their antique shop is home to a wide selection of antiques and silverware but it is Corinne’s collection of unique vintage and contemporary jewellery that keeps collectors coming back for more. The dynamic team at La Vogue have created a specialized approach to their jewellery, sourcing original yet extremely wearable pieces for their clients. Although enjoying the ‘quieter’ life down at the coast, the lure of the big city was hard to resist and the Saunders make the monthly trip up to Johannesburg to exhibit at the Antiques Fair at Nelson Mandela Square on the first Sunday of every month. So if you want to renew acquaintances and see some of La Vogue’s unique antiques visit them at the Nelson Mandela Square Antiques Fair on the Upper Level near Exclusive Books on the first Sunday of every month. With many collectors making their way down to Kwa-Zulu Natal for the holidays, you can also visit them at the Gateway Shopping Centre on the first Sunday of every month or make that trip down to Port Shepstone and visit them at their shop in The Spillers Wharf Centre. The Centre will be hosting their first speciality TOY FAIR 19 - 20 December 2009 and an ANTIQUES FAIR on the 27 December 2009.

f you are one of the baby boomers then Barbie must hold a special place in your heart. She of the perky breasts, legs that came up to her armpits, Marilyn Munroe make-up and Hollywood blond hair, she represented the femme fatale for any growing young girl. We dressed her up, groomed her hair and changed her outfits twenty times a day – and lived our dreams of the glamorous life through her! Created by Ruth Handler, a co-founder of Mattell, in 1959, she named the doll after her daughter Barbara Millicent Roberts and later in 1961 created Ken who was named after her son Ken. An original 1959 Barbie Doll in mint condition has sold for up to $8 000 apiece, while the original value was a mere $3.00!
Barbie in 1959 Barbie doll’s debut as the ‘teenage fashion model’ mirrored the sophisticated glamour of 1950’s stars Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth and Elizabeth Taylor, donning high arched brows, pursed red lips, a sassy pony tail with curly bangs and a coy, sideways glance. Even her figure was high fashion and model-esque, with pale, ivory skin, long slim legs and a narrow waist and hips.
Barbie in 1960’s The 60’s were a beauty trifect for Barbie®. At the dawn of the decade and a social revolution, her chic, stylish looks echoed that of strong, internationally renowned women like Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy. In 1960 Barbie sported softer looking make-up, less arched eyebrows and blue rinses for the first time. Also, Barbie was offered in a third hair colour – ‘Titian’ a popular term for red hair at the time. From beehive to bob to wigs, the elaborate hairstyles of the mid-60’s were reflected through various models that featured molded hair and three stylish wigs. Also new was Miss Barbie who featured ‘sleep eyes’ that opened and closed, as well as the first time Barbie had bendable legs. By 1967, Barbie put another stake-inthe-ground, choosing evolution, not revolution, with a new, younger looking face sculpt. Twist ‘N Turn™ Barbie® had lighter makeup, rooted eyelashes and straight shiny hair.
Barbie in 1970’s Family sitcoms and detective dramas became a Friday night ritual in the 70’s, and a new era of TV-glam began to muscle-in on traditional fashion magazines. With their ‘hair of gold’ the ‘Brady Bunch’ put the casual, outdoorsy California lifestyle on the map and the first Malibu Barbie™ (1971) gave girls across the nation a chance to imagine life in the sun and sand. Malibu Barbie debuted with a new major face re-sculpt, including the addition of an open smile with pearly white teeth, and, thanks to the groundswell of the feminist movement and female empowerment, her sparkling blue eyes facedforward for the first time. Malibu Barbie was the ultimate surfer girl – suntanned

with long, straight hair. ‘Charlie’s Angels’ was breaking barriers on and off the small screen, when Barbie emerged with her own secret weapon – a third major face change as Superstar Barbie in 1977. She had a wide smile and fuller hair, blue shimmer eye shadow, brightly painted eyes, and pale pink lip gloss that were in-step with the glittering disco glam look found gyrating on dance floors across the country.
Barbie in 1980’s As supermodels like Kim Alexis, Carol Alt and Paulina Porlzkova went from the runway to the highway on advertising billboards, Angel Face Barbie™ became the newest Barbie in 1983. She had a delicate face with large, round eyes, pale skin and long, sun-streaked hair. Additionally, in 1980 a decade before the multi-cultural beauty trend took hold, Barbie was introduced in two ethnicities. For the first time, African-American Barbie – sporting gorgeous golden makeup – and Hispanic Barbie were introduced.
Barbie in 1990’s Barbie was ready to celebrate the 1990’s with two new faces. Her first look in the early ‘90’s featured open smiling lips with wide eyes looking ahead, and her beauty was big and bold. From her first, longest hair ever (crimped, or course) to a Technicolor makeup palette, she was totally rad. Barbie doll’s second new look featured a closed mouth and smaller, more realistic eyes. Celeb watchers said, oops, she did it again, drawing comparisons to her straight blond hair, toned-down makeup and rosy lips with those of a much more innocent teen pop star.
Barbie of 2000 The new millennium gave everyone a chance to reset and re-evaluate. Jewel Girl brought Barbie natural looking makeup and featured the gentle open smile introduced the previous year. Her two-toned blonde hair was long and loose, and could be styled in a variety of ways.
Barbie in 2009 What’s a big birthday without a makeover of some sort? Like all birthday girls, Barbie looks forward to surprising her fans, friends and family with her new birthday look – fresh, fun and always fashionable. She may be 50 but in ‘doll years’ she’s forever a teenager!

Antiques of Christmases Past Ask anyone who collects antique Christmas decorations and they will tell you what a thrill and pleasure it is to unpack those favourite collectables once again, dust them off and give them pride of place at Christmas time. Many people collect antique Christmas decorations because it is the one collecting discipline that one can bequeath to one’s children and grandchildren and know that they will cherish them and bring them out year after year. The sentimentality attached to beautifully made glass or papier mache Xmas tree ornaments or antique Christmas lights is quite unique as each item takes on a very personal significance. Many of the porcelain factories like Royal Doulton, Lladro, Hummel and Moorcroft have ranges of Christmas collectables – ranging from beautiful ladies dressed in Christmas red to Father Xmas’ besides a tree or on a rooftop. Germany and Eastern Europe is home to many of the glass factories that produced Christmas decorations from the mid 1800’s that soon decorated Christmas trees around the world and today are highly collectable. The Victorians were also avid Christmas ornament collectors with Christmas cards, tins and baubles strong favourites, wooden ornaments, garlands of flowers, nativity scenes etc.

f legends are to be believed, it was thanks to the Chinese Emperor Shen Neng, way back in 2737 BC, who accidentally drank some hot water into which dried leaves from a nearby bush inadvertently fell. Known for his enquiring scientific mind, he was intrigued by the fresh, invigorating taste and so, as legend would have it, tea was created. The first samples of tea reached England between 1652 and 1654 and soon proved so popular that it replaced ale as the national drink of England. With increased trade throughout the world, the establishment of colonies and the intermarriage between the various European royal houses, tea soon became popular – firstly amongst royalty and the very wealthy and available only in apothecaries and then, as tea imports increased, it became more accessible to the general public. Concurrently Russia’s burgeoning trade with China and Japan resulted in the introduction of tea to that country and the adoption of the Tibetan samovar or ‘hot pot’ which provided hot tea all day. America was the next continent to be introduced to tea, fuelled by the English colonists who brought the tradition with them. As America fought to recover the losses incurred by various wars imposed on them by their colonial masters, a tax was imposed on tea and created such controversy that the men of Boston, dressed as Indians, dumped hundreds of pounds of tea into the harbour in protest – an event that went down in history as the Boston Tea Party which marked the start of the American Revolution. With the popularity of tea and all things Oriental, it is believed that the social critic Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, the Marquise de Seven made the first mention in 1680 of adding milk to tea. During the same period, Dutch inns provided the first restaurant service of tea. Tavern owners would furnish guests with a portable tea seat complete with a heating unit so that guests could prepare and serve tea for themselves and their friends. In 1840 Anna the Duchess of Bedford introduces afternoon tea, which becomes a lasting English ritual. This then developed into ‘high’ and ‘low’ tea. “Low” tea was served in the low part of the afternoon in mostly in wealthy homes and featured delicate sandwiches, shrimp or fish pates, toasted breads with jam, and regional British pastries such as scones and crumpets. “High” tea developed as a major meal of the middle and lower classes and consisted of full dinner served with tea. Men in the 18th Century frequented ‘Coffee Houses’ (so named only because coffee arrived in England before tea) and were also referred to as “Penny Universities” because for a penny you would get a pot of tea, a copy of the daily newspaper and were then able to socialise and discuss the news of the day. The Tea Garden, started in Holland, quickly spread in popularity throughout Europe where the gentry, both men and women, took their tea out-

doors in beautifully manicured gardens. It is recorded that Lord Nelson met the great love of his life Emma, later Lady Hamilton at a Tea Garden. The practice of ‘tipping’ is said to have started in tea gardens where small, locked wooden boxes inscribed with the letters T.I.P.S which stood for the sentence “to insure prompt service” were placed on the tables around the garden. In 1904 Englishman Richard Blechynden created iced tea during a heat wave at the St Louis World Fair. In 1908 New York tea importer Thomas Sullivan inadvertently invents tea bags when he sends tea to clients in small silk bags, and they mistakenly steep the bags whole. The drinking of tea led to a proliferation of tea rooms, tea courts and tea dances which opened up a whole new social network – both for the elite who would meet in top hotels to take tea and for the working class who would meet and socialise in the many tea dances that took place.
COLLECTING TEA RELATED ANTIQUES “Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.”Author Unknown As tea became fashionable in the mid 17th Century throughout Europe so did all the paraphanalia associated with the art of making tea. As tea was so expensive and drunk by only the elite the materials used in the making of all the accessories were also of the very best – from porcelain, exotic woods, tortoiseshell, ivory, crystal and silver. The very first silver teapot is said to be from around 1670 and those early antiques are quite rare and highly collectable. The range of tea accessories grew as tea became more popular and the range of tea-related collectables is wide – from tea pots, porcelain tea-sets, trios, creamers and sugar bowls to hot water urns, teapot stands, waste bowls, sugar nips and tongs. Tea chests containing the full spectrum of tea accessories are highly sought after as are tea caddy spoons, mote spoons and spouters. Tea caddies – from the austere to the more elaborate Turnbridge Ware, penwork, painted, papier mache and tortoiseshell ones have become highly collectable. So, along with enjoying that cup of tea, which is said to represent an imaginary voyage, why not do so the old-fashioned way – with some beautiful tea collectables! Did you Know?
