Smoke Gets In Your Eyes


www.toothandclawonline.com  ~ Original works and re-discovered treasure for your home


I have recently been souring a lot of Smoked Glass for our stock at Tooth & Claw – its dark and sultry looks can turn the most humble of objects into a smouldering sensation.

One of our latest acquisitions is this beautiful 1970’s Smoked Glass Dressing Screen.
An impressive statement piece, this 4-fold screen packs a glamorous punch.  We think this would look amazing in a 70’s Glam-styled room with maybe a Willy Rizzo coffee table – or juxtaposed with more feminine furniture to give a vintage-style room a bit of an edge. 
£450

If wine is your thing, another recent stock addition is this super-cool set of 1960’s wine glasses. Designed in 1967 by Frank Thrower and Produced in 1968 by Dartington Glass, their smoky looks will set your drinks tray alight!
       £25 for the set of 4.

For decanting your spirits – this amazing 1930’s American Art Deco decanter is just perfect. Made from smoky-grey-topaz coloured glass, which really highlights its “Metropolis” inspired Odeon shape.
          £89 for the decanter & 2 shot glasses

Our gorgeous set of French 1970’s Smoked Glasses makes a great gift. Perfect for aperitifs or sherry. Yes, sherry! Sherry has shed its ‘old lady’ connotations and is now super-fashionable.
       £30 for a set of 5

For a little indulgence, treat yourself to a sherry nightcap at one of Tooth & Claw’s favourite places, Claridges’ Fumoir bar – itself a perfect example of dark, smoky glamour.

How Thoroughly Modern!.....

... Whilst doing a little bit of internet research recently for Tooth and Claw, I came across these images of interior decor ideas from the early 20th Century. Taken from a French book of plates published in 1925, the illustrations depict room designs by interior design studios from 1921-1925. Looking at them, I can't fail to be impressed by the forward thinking modernism displayed.  Feast your eyes on these fantasy, stylish rooms from the Art Deco period of the early 1920's.....
