Perhaps nothing better epitomizes the Art Deco movement than Frankart: lamps, figurines, and other decorative items fashioned after the form of an elegant female nude and accessorized with equally beautiful glass shades and vases. Frankart was mass produced in the 1920s and 1930s out of white lead composition and spray painted a variety of colors. Though such a method of production sounds inauspicious, Frankart remains one of the most sought after artifacts of the Art Deco era, and its collectors are passionate and well informed.
