A selection of wall plaques, masks, chargers and pockets, mainly in ceramics, but also including terracotta, plaster and metal.

During the deco period there was a huge following for wall ornaments, many modelled on Hollywood movie stars of the period, cartoon characters and famous themes of the period. Although many plaques were made in the UK during the period, for instance Cope and Company probably produced most of the English plaques, along with Beswick, Clarice Cliff, Crown Devon, whilst Leonardi (Leonardine) produced most of the best quality plaster pieces. Czechoslovakia and Austria both produced many high quality plaques and masks, some designed by deco sculptors such as Lorenzl, Dakon, Goebel, Royal Dux and Goldscheider. Another less known source of quality masks and plaques was the Belgian artist and sculptor Domien Ingles, who produced a range of quality terracotta masks, who's company also produced crackeliers during this period. In my opinion, these masks epitomise the deco period and are therefore essential to creating the art deco interior.

S.A.D.E. Wall Plaque
I have recently commissioned an extremely talented artist, to create this large deco plaque, similar to the original design by Marcel Bouraine for the 1925 Paris Exposition des Arts Decoratifs. This wall plaque is made of gesso and applied with either gold leaf or silver leaf. They are professionally framed and mounted in a black satin finish stepped wood frame. It measures nearly 30 inches square (75cm). I have used the original design on my website and company stationery for some time now and have therefore named her Sade - an abbreviation of Sheryls Art Deco Emporium. I presently have one of each version (gold and silver leaf), but I am hoping to produce a terracotta version later.
I have taken more photographs of these plaques and have made a special page to view them here, but the pictures are larger than normal and so may take some time to open. Email me for more information. These plaques are large and quite heavy (10.5 kg) and would need to be collected, personally or by a shipping agent, as they are too fragile and heavy to post.
