Object History

The design of this pendant represents an example of ‘Machine Age’ design,durring the late 1920s & 1930s the decorative arts were increasingly influenced by the advances in science, manufacturing & an almost obsession with speed & new forms of travel.
The Bauhaus in Germany & The UMA-Union Artistes Moderne in Paris were at the forefront of this school of design.
