VELVET Lady Vintage

Top Picks

A quiet moment, caught mid-breath.
Painted by Georges Barbier in the early 20th century, when elegance leaned toward the dreamlike and fantasy was allowed to be soft.
A woman, a cup, a luminous creature drifting in from elsewhere. Nothing is explained. Nothing is rushed.

I’ve gently brought her into motion here — not to change the scene, but to let it exhale. As if the artwork itself remembered how to move.
Original illustration by Georges Barbier (circa 1915). Public domain.

This luminous Bagley float bowl feels like it was made for still water and quiet beauty ✨
With her soft, petal-like curves and opalescent glow, she catches the light in a way that feels almost otherworldly.
In the opening video, I’ve gently brought the scene to life — a whisper of movement, a few fairies drifting in the background — simply to echo the magic this piece already holds. The images that follow show her exactly as she is: original vintage glass, untouched and glowing naturally.
This is an authentic Bagley floating bowl, made between the 1920s and 1940s, and she is currently available.
If she’s calling to you, you can find her waiting on my website via the link in my bio 🌿

A dream from the Art Nouveau era, created in the early 1900s ✨
This image was originally designed as an advertisement, back when even everyday things were wrapped in beauty and imagination.
She drifts through the frame as if caught in a waltz with the air itself — her gown unfurling like petals, birds hovering close as gentle companions. Everything flows. Nothing rushes. Nature, movement, and femininity are woven together in that unmistakable Art Nouveau way.
I’ve brought her softly to life here — just a hint of motion, like a breath passing through old paper. As though she’s remembering how she once danced.
A little moment of poetry from a time when art lived everywhere 🌿

The magical story of
🌸The Lace and Luminescence Victorian Vase🌸

Our story begins in the late 19th Century (circa 1885–1905). While glassmakers across the globe were competing to create the most beautiful Art Glass, the artisans in Bohemia (the historic glass-making region of the modern-day Czech Republic) were the undisputed masters of this specific satin look.

Because of the way this vase is crafted—with its solid pink colour (no white lining) and that very specific raised enamel painting—historians and collectors would attribute her to a Bohemian workshop, such as the famous Harrach or Franz Welz glassworks. These workshops were legendary for exporting these frosted pink beauties to fancy parlours all over the world.

👽The Secret Ingredient 👽

The glassmakers had a bit of a mad scientist streak! To make the pink colour more vibrant under the yellow flicker of Victorian oil lamps, they added Uranium Oxide to the molten glass. They didn't know about blacklights back then, but they knew that uranium acted as a spectral brightener.

The result? A vase that looks like a soft, dusty rose by day, but reveals a glowing neon secret at its base whenever it catches a UV ray. This glow is the invisible signature of the era's chemistry.

The Glassmaker’s Touch

🌸 The Satin Finish🌸

To get that "frozen-in-time" texture, the vase was likely dipped in a bath of acid. This softened the glare of the glass until it felt like a velvet peach skin or a frosted windowpane.

🌸 The Crimp 🌸

See that ruffled rim? It was shaped by hand! A craftsman used tongs to pinch the hot, glowing glass while it was soft as taffy, giving her a collar that would have been very fashionable in a Victorian home.

The Artist’s Embroidery

🌸 Raised Enamel Florals 🌸

The tiny white blossoms are a classic Bohemian touch. They aren't just flat paint; the artist used a technique called "High-Relief Enamel," piping the paint onto the glass like icing on a miniature cake.

The Mermaid's Secret Mirror🧜‍♀️
Over 100 years old and made of pure silver 😍

Available on my website
Link in bio ✨️✨️✨️✨️

🧜‍♀️✨ This mirror is a true piece of sparkling history, a hand mirror designed to sit proudly on a dressing table.

🧜‍♀️✨ It features a solid sterling silver base, giving it a reassuring weight and quality.

English maker Adie Brothers, from the famous metalworking city of Birmingham, loved this vibrant, sky-meets-sea shade of aqua. It was the colour of a cheerful spring sky, trapped forever under glass.

🧜‍♀️✨ If you examine the enamel closely, you'll see a pattern of concentric, wavy rings. This is the Guilloché itself, the magic that gives the enamel its depth and movement.

🧜‍♀️✨ These pieces were particularly beloved during the Art Deco periods, where elegant simplicity and geometric precision were all the rage. This mirror, with its colourful enamel, is a stylish echo of the flapper era's glamour and the desire for beautiful, everyday luxury.

🧜‍♀️✨So, when you hold it, remember you're not just holding a mirror, but a piece of the past—a mechanical marvel wrapped in a glass coat, ready to reflect the next chapter of its life.
