Underwood tpyewriter with Pop Art design

The ‘Underwood Typewriter Company’ was founded in 1895 and headquartered in New York City (New York). Underwood produced the first truly modern typewriter.

In 1963 Olivetti took over the company and in the 1980s the Underwood name last appeared on Olivetti portable typewriters.

Underwood is a constant in pop culture, as films like ‘Moulin Rouge’, ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?’, ‘Catch Me If You Can’ refer to Underwood typewriters and authors like William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jack Kerouac wrote their famous works on them.

As we have been in the chainmail department, I don’t want to deny you the modern chainmail shirt of Mr. Datta Phuge. Made of gold and yours for $ 22,700.

When doing the research on Art Deco, I found this chainmail necklace. Chainmail is a recurrent trend in jewelry and right now quite en vogue.

A very talented createur of chainmail jewelry is the Italian goldsmith Francesco Pavan, whose works can be found in this fabulous publication by the gallery ‘Slavik’: Art Meets Jewellery.

The gallery ‘Slavik’ focuses on international contemporary jewelry art and is located in the first district of Vienna. Its current exhibition is titled ‘A winter journey’ and works by Stefano Marchetti, Helfried Kodré, Lisa J. Defner, Jacqueline Ryan Will are on display.

To finish the series on Art Deco, I would like to present you this impressive ring.

Manner is a very traditional Viennese confectionery factory, which was founded in 1890. Its most famous product are the ‘Manner Original Neapolitaner Schnitten’ that were created in 1898. The name ‘Neapolitaner’ is a reference to the hazelnuts, which came from the area around Naples (Italy).

If you are into cubes and pyramides, those earrings might be perfect

As the bracelet of the last post was quite opulent, I want to suggest this delicate necklace for a more demure look.

Right now there is so much Art Deco inspired jewelry in the stores. This bracelet is one of the most interesting pieces I have come across so far.
