The Prize

Don't miss the chance to be the owner of this unique piece of history!

These pieces are often very rare and precious and typically have a lot of history associated with them because of their age.

This is something between Belle Époque and Art Deco. The Belle Époque (French for "Beautiful Era") was a period in European social history that began during the late 19th century from the Franco-Prussian War and lasted until World War I.

Abstract motives and geometrical forms are quite typical for the Art Deco period.
