Vintage Designer Spotlight - Georges Briard

As collectors and purveyors of all things vintage, we come across designers who catch our eye and appeal to our own sense of style. Occasionally, a designer will appeal to me, not only for the above reasons but because of their business/branding savvy. These people were the trendsetters of decades. They formed "looks" that would last for years to come...amazing really, when you think about it. For my first vintage designer spotlight, I chose Georges Briard...barware & glassware, table & kitchen linens and a wide variety of china & serving pieces, this man was the master of mid century branding! Georges Briard (born Jascha Brojdo 1917 to 2005) was an artist and award winning designer of mid century housewares.

1940's Flashback

Rushmore is Completed and The Jeep is Invented 1942 Casablanca is Released, The T-Shirt is Invented and The Congress of Racial Equality is Formed 1943 The Casablanca Conference is held to plan the next cour

Complicated Vintage - Terminology in our Changing Times

Complicated Vintage - Terminology in our Changing Times This post really is complicated. I want to start with the term "Antique". Prior to the online takeover into the world of vintage & antiques, vintage was a word that was rarely used...cars come to mind and few other things but basically the word got big when the Internet got big. Vintage is defined by 20 years old or older, Antiques are defined by 100 years old or older. Here's where it gets tricky... Prior to the Internet, antiques were sold in antique shops and at shows. Antique "style" items were made all the time and labeled as "Antique" although they were not. The reason for this was that with so few ways to buy true antiques, people knew that the word "Antique" on packaging, meant "antique style". Now with the packaging long gone, reproductions of "antique style" items (many are of Victorian designs) that were made throughout the 20th Century
