Modern Collectibles and Curiosities

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Mint 1997 Omas “Return to the Motherland” limited edition 18k gold fountain pen
Located in Weesp, NL
1997 OMAS Return to the Motherland Limited Edition Fountain Pen Solid 18K Gold · No. 063/200 · 123g · Mint Full Set w/ Original 1997 Red Ink A rare and historically weighted masterpiece — this 1997 OMAS Return to the Motherland fountain pen was created to honor the handover of Hong Kong from British to Chinese governance, marking one of the most significant geopolitical transitions of the 20th century. Only 200 examples were produced worldwide, each individually numbered. This piece is No. 063/200, preserved in mint, uninked condition, and complete with every original component. Crafted entirely in 18 karat gold and weighing an impressive 123 grams, the pen is sculpted in deep high-relief — a tactile narrative rendered directly into precious metal. Sculptural Symbolic Detail • Imperial Dragon in full sculptural relief — symbol of prosperity, sovereignty and protection • Flowing silk texture motifs — referencing millennia of Chinese heritage and continuity • Engraved Great Wall — endurance, culture, identity, the spine of civilization • Pink/White Dolphins — indigenous to Hong Kong waters, symbols of harmony, freedom, renewal • Red lacquer grip and finial — the color of fortune, vitality and auspicious beginnings in Chinese culture These elements are not printed — they are carved, dimensional and alive with symbolism. A writing instrument that feels like a piece of sculpture. Nib — Two-Tone Gold with Commemorative Engraving The pen is fitted with a two-tone 18K gold nib — white finished (rhodium/platinum over 18K) with inlaid yellow-gold dragon details and engraved: “HONG KONG 1997” Also signed OMAS · 18K This feature alone makes the edition unmistakable: culturally specific, commemorative, and produced at a level of craftsmanship few modern pens approach. Complete, Original Presentation ✔ No. 063/200 ✔ Inner and outer boxes (deep red, gold accents) ✔ Commemorative gold-plated display case...
