The Roaring Twenties Flappers

The loose, short, swishing dresses of the roaring twenties made them ideal for dancing. For women the first thing that had to go was the corset. The item that made your figure flat was too restrictive for dancing close with your partner. One young flapper reported “the men won’t dance with you if you wear a corset.” And women said that they could "shimmy" better without corsets. Corset check rooms became common in the early twenties where young women would discard their corsets before hitting the dance floor and wear them home again to appease their family.

Set to go under the hammer and expected to bring $6,848,730 USD.

This George II silver coffee pot was created in 1738 and stands a little over 10 inches tall. It is said to be the greatest example of Rococo silver work EVER and will be the most important coffee-pot ever to come to the market, when auctioned at Christie’s in London next month. Collectors from around the world are expected to spark a bidding frenzy for the Rococo masterpiece by Paul de Lamerie (1688–1751) - the greatest silversmith working in Britain in the 18th century.

The pot bears the arms of Lequesne impaling Knight, for Sir John Lequesne and his wife Mary, née Knight - above all others as an example of de Lamerie's design and execution.
