VandM's HOME DÉCOR & COLLECTIBLES HOT LIST FOR 2010

With more and more dealers making the move to digital, Bill Indursky, Co-Founder of VandM.com, offers VandM.com's list of what's hot in the world of antiques and collectibles for 2010.

WHAT'S HOT IN 2010:

"Some of the biggest trends in 2010 are Victorian-influenced patterns and imagery, WPA Deco and its use of sepia and stone sculpture, a continuation of the 1980s with more bright colors and tone-on-tone spaces, and finally, furniture as sculpture and the increased use of natural materials." – Bill

THE NEW ROMANTIC

"During the Victorian Era there was a significant cultural change, the industrial revolution, which pushed and shaped their world. We are in the midst of our own revolution, technological and economical, and like the Victorians, we feel nostalgia for a simpler time.  We will be fascinated by many of the same interests as the Victorians, including: mysticism, nature, and primitive forces.  This trend will affect FABRIC and PATTERN CHOICES for home décor as well as govern the dominate style attitude." – Bill

It will affect HOME FABRICS so look for…

1. Maharaja: Indian pattern in all forms
2. Paisley: A logical extension of Maharaja
3. Tapestry: Needlework and stitching

It will dominate our STYLE conscious so look for…

1. Industrial Americana to be the strongest style trend
2. Macabre and the Occult: A general cultural interest in the ugly and all things dead, including the Vampire craze that will continue.

It will affect COLLECTIBLES & ART so look for…

1. Taxonomy & Collections: an emphasis on grouped collections of similar items
2. Tsarist Russia: A tendency to gravitate toward ornate and elaborately gilt single objects such as bronze Dore mantle clocks to reassert our wealth in small ways in our home
3. Machines of Learning: In Victorian times they developed a love for machines that visually represented the "invisible world".  Look for Armillary spheres and celestial globes to become more popular as a collectible.
4. Femme Fatale: Will reemerge as a cultural interest in movie, TV and art.  Look for women to be portrayed as powerful, mysterious, and dangerous.  Art will express women and nature.

WPA DECO

"We've recently survived one of the largest economic downturns in American history, which is why we might be feeling similar to those that lived through the great depression. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was the government bailout of its day and put around 3.3 million people back to work beautifying our country and rebuilding our infrastructure. It stays memorable largely due to the visual artists who left an entire body of work chronicling America in that day thanks to Uncle Sam." - Bill

It will affect PHOTOGRAPHY AND GRAPHICS…

1. Sepia Tones: All things brown and dark and moody will crop up for artists and graphics designers, especially in Photography.

It will affect ART, COLLECTIBLES, and FURNITURE so look for…

1. Deco Sculpture: Simple, smooth, and chiseled forms in stone.  Stone is the key and will start to edge out metal as the chosen material for sculpture.
2. Stone: The translucent quality of stone, like alabaster marble, will crop up more in kitchens, come back in sconces, and be part of large rock crystal table lamps.

THE 1980S ARE STILL BACK

"What started at the end of 2008 and built steam in 2009 will continue to get stronger throughout 2010."

- Bill

It will affect INTERIOR DESIGN STYLES so look for…

1. Industrial "N.Y. Loft": all white boxes, with pops of black metal and natural wood
2. The Tone-On-Tone Interior: often in pastel shades (pastel pale blue, pastel pale green, pastel pale yellow, and the new one to watch for - mauve)
3. The 80s Pop-Graphics Look: bright neon and primary color interiors with clean hard lines and pattern
4. Deco Redux: the eighties loved the 1920s and did Deco their way, now we will see more true WPA style Deco again often with some textural twists from the 80s era.

ENVIRONMENT & SCULPTURE

"Healing the planet and the recent climate conference are bringing a lot of attention to the environment. Combine this with nature inspired forms and natural materials and you get a real green movement in design. Once again, artists are exploring the role of sculpture, individuality, nature and what environment really means. Be prepared to see design interiors looking less like a furniture showroom and more like an artistic immersed surrounding of environmental sculpture." – Bill

It will affect BUILDING MATERIALS, SCULPTURE, and INTERIOR DESIGN FORMS…

1. Atypical eco-friendly: Items that don't necessarily seem eco but really are.
2. Reclaimed wood: used in furniture and interiors
3. Steel: rusted Corten is best but look for this in sculpture and architecture and interiors.
4. Gold replacing silver: as the dominate metal for jewelry and interiors.
5. Sculptural furniture: furniture of wood and plaster that will be whimsical and figurative
6. Handmade studio furniture: mostly out of wood, bronze, and other metals will dominate high-end interiors.
7. Environmental sculpture and graphics: will be seen in art and public spaces

The SERIOUS FURNITURE COLLECTOR will want in 2010…

Shaker American Furniture, Sculptural / Artist / Studio Made Furniture, Americana and Industrial Americana

The HOT COLLECTIBLE in 2010 will be…

Studio Art Glass, Tapestries, and Deco Sculpture Preferably in Stone

The COLOR TO LOOK OUT FOR in 2010 will be...

Mauve

STYLES To Look For in 2010...

Eastern Indian and clean line and lighter wood Victoriana

Clock Mantle

In the Great Gatsby, what does the mantle clock represent?

I read it for a class and now I have to write a research paper on it and it requires me to know what the mantle clock represents but I cannot find even where they mention a mantle clock.

I'm not sure what it means, but when Gatsby and Daisy meet again for the first time in years, in Nick's cottage, Gatsby nearly knocks the mantle clock off of the mantle, but catches it before it falls. Perhaps Fitzgerald was referring to time lost, or almost lost, or something like that.

Fitzgerald didn't put anything in the story that wasn't meant to be there, there is so much symbolism.

Best Online Clocks - Sign of the Times

I have to confess, I am a huge fan of clocks. After all where would we all be without them? Probably still gazing at the sun and the stars for guidance, or perhaps we would have to turn over 24 hourglasses in turn so that we knew that a day had passed.

I shudder to think of the chaos that would ensue if the humble time telling device had never existed. The word clock is apparently derived from the Latin word “clocca” which means “bell”.

Clocks or devices that aim to measure time have been in existence for years but the clock as we know it today probably only dates to around 1400 AD. Although the actual date of the first clock is said to be debated and disputed among historians.

I remember when I was a kid, in our hallway was what seemed at the time to be a giant grandfather clock that dominated the furnishing and chimed loudly every hour. My dad used to have to wind it up regularly and make sure that the clock was always level. It was a truly beautiful piece of furniture and I can still hear the chimes to this day.

Just recently I received a clock as a promotional gift with a new bottle of aftershave. This one is a far cry from that old grandfather clock! It is made from black plastic and it has a digital display that when pressing a button projects onto the wall, so you can read the time in the deep of night without having to turn your head or put the light on! It has what seems like a million different piercing tunes that can be played as the alarm, from classical pieces to modern pop songs.

I have only mentioned two types of clock from different ends of the spectrum but there are so many other types of clock out there to suit every style, niche and flavour. Old, classic clocks are still made and appreciated the world over but modern clocks are popular too, arriving in many different shapes and sizes. Novelty clocks, retro clocks, mantle clocks and wall clocks to name but a few.

Clocks and watches can as ever be found and bought on the high street but in our current day and age, probably the place to find the most choice is the internet. With dedicated websites just for clocks and a vast many others too. Perhaps a good tip to find the best online clocks is to use a price comparison website but it really is up to you. You are sure to find something you like and can afford when you buy clocks online.

Quartz Mantle Clock

The antique mantel clock was developed in France during the 18th century. Ten years later, the English produced a counterpart and named it the shelf clock. Mantel clocks are small house clocks that are commonly placed on the shelf or mantel located above the fireplace, which is where the name came from. The English on the other hand, placed their shelf clock in the shelf of their library or study.

Part decoration, part practical timepiece, mantel clocks were inexpensive and affordable to own, which explains why it's the most popular clock in the 18th and 19th centuries. French Mantel clocks were most often paired with two highly ornamental pieces that sat next to the central mantel clock; these are called mantel clock sets.

Like the other clocks of the 18th and 19th century, the mantel clock, which was made with both brass and wood movements, needed to be rewound with a key in order to work accurately. The mantel clock ran anywhere from 30 hours to eight days between windings. At present, mantel clocks like other timepieces work with the use of batteries or quartz.

Antique Mantel clocks are usually made of wood, porcelain, or ormolu and they are ornately decorated. American mantel clocks were usually made of cherry or oak and sometimes incorporated with brass or iron. The bases of mantel clocks were decorated in different ways, some were solid, others were engraved. Mantel clocks of the more expensive variety featured intricately detailed painted scenes.

Despite the emergence of other timepieces, the antique mantel clocks have maintained their popularity for more than two centuries because they are reliable and because they work so well in so many different domestic situations. From the mantle, shelf, office desk, and even the study table, be it antique themed or modern themed homes, the antique mantle clock fits in just right.

Mantle Clock Works

How do you get an old mantle clock to keep ticking? It is level and it did work but just quit.?

It was working fine but now will only tick for a few seconds at a time. What to do?

look on the internet for either local antique shops, or clock shops, or clock repair. You will probably have to take it in to one of these places. If it is real old it might be dirty inside and needs cleaning to make it work smoothly.
I have a grandfather clock that is 122 years old. In the past it needed a clock repair person at least 4 times that I know of.
Good luck. Oh, and don't fool around with it yourself, you might do more harm than good.

Wireless Hidden Cameras -- Some Unusual Uses

Wireless Hidden Cameras, sometimes called Nanny Cameras, are one of the most popular products when it comes to home security. Why? Because they work and they are easy to install -- anyone can start recording in less than 10 minutes.

Unfortunately, most people think the only use for a Wireless Hidden Camera is to keep an eye on their nanny or baby sitter as they care for their child. Well, since they're wireless, they are also portable. And, most wireless cameras have a range of 700 feet or more, which means they can be placed in many unusual places.

Here are some ideas for using a Wireless Hidden Camera that you may not have considered:

• Home for Aged People -- a clock radio or picture frame camera could keep you informed about how your loved one is being treated

• Vacation Homes -- since you're not there all the time, your property is vulnerable to burglars, vandalism or worse. And, with all the natural disasters we've had lately, your Wireless Camera can be a valuable asset. You can monitor your property from your home computer using specified software, even from miles away.

• Rental Properties -- put a sign on your property saying "This house is protected by a hidden camera." Burglars seeing this will be less likely to bother with your house, plus you can keep an eye on your investment from your own home.

• Home Swimming Pools - monitor your kids from anywhere in your home. Now you can make sure that there are no unwanted visitors in your pool.

• Barns -- ensure your animals or expensive tractors or tools are safe.

• You can even monitor your pets when you are away from home -- great when you have a new puppy who likes to chew as well as "do his business" on your rug. Also, how well do the cat and dog really get along when you're away?

• And don't forget your apartment. Just because you have a locked door or buzzer downstairs, or even a gate guard at the door, doesn't make you immune from burglars. Just watch a couple of cop shows on TV or movies and see how vulnerable your apartment really is.

There are many kinds of Wireless Hidden Cameras available in all sizes, shapes and colors. Some are even disguised as everyday working appliances, e.g. clock radio, boom box, or mantle clock.

Chime Mantle Clock

need help setting antique enfield mantle clock!?

Clock was given to me. It is my first antique clock. It has two holes on the front for winding. I think it has to be wound every seven days. A short time after receiving the clock it stopped. I took it to a repair shop and they said the mechanics just needed cleaning. They cleaned it and it worked fine, even the chimes. Then we went on vacation for two weeks and when we returned I set the clock and winded. It did not even run for an entire day. Maybe I need instuctions on setting properly. Please help!

Did you set the pendulum in motion? It won't run until you do that. The other possibility is that you wound it too tightly..try getting the pendulum moving on its own (it may stop a few times before it loosens up enough to work on its own). Other than that, its back to the repairman.

The Brass Carriage Clock and its Timeless Beauty

Brass carriage clocks are timepieces that have been around since the 19th Century, during the period where people still made use of horse drawn carriages for transportation. Since people never wore wristwatches during that era, they used brass carriage clocks to keep track of time. The clocks were durable in order to withstand the difficulty of long trips by land or by sea, and to resist the strain of different weather conditions.

Aside from the clock’s sturdiness, it is also elegant and classy. It has ornate and detailed features like gemstones, inlaid enamel, porcelain and foliage. It contains a glass window that makes it clear to read and though the hands are frequently painted black, the porcelain face is usually painted with natural scenes. It is also equipped to play songs and to chime at every hour. In some cases, the top of the clock includes a large resonant bell which is rung every hour or half hour.

Brass carriage clocks were considered as a sign of status since they were especially made for the upper classes who were the only ones who could afford to travel often and to take such luxuries with them. Fortunately for those of us who were not born with the wealth of the upper class, mass production of the clocks became possible in the 1830's, making the carriage clock more widely available to others. Around the end of the 1860's, brass carriage clocks became common as presents during special occasions like birthdays, weddings, and also for political and royal celebrations.

Unfortunately, with the increased popularity of wristwatches, Brass carriage clocks became a thing of the past. At present, it is mainly used as decorative mantle pieces that add beauty and elegance to homes commonly with an antique setting; although it could also be used as a decoration for modern set-homes because of its distinctive elegance. Some use it as a collection piece that is passed on from generation to generation. It is also an excellent gift idea for special occasions like weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries.

Despite being considered a thing of the past, the clocks are still sold in a lot of online and antique shops. Though it was replaced by modern clocks, with regards to popularity, the brass carriage clock's beauty, elegance and distinctiveness could never be replaced by the modern and digital clocks of today.
