Odds and Ends: An Eclectic Collection of Art and Decor from the Early 20th Century, as Illustrated in Doctor A.W. Oxford's Article in Colour Magazine, January 1915 This image, taken from Doctor A.W. Oxford's article in the January 1915 issue of Colour Magazine, showcases an intriguing array of odds and ends from the early 20th century. The illustration, which holds an uncanny charm even today, features an eclectic mix of decorative items that reflect the diverse cultural influences of the time. At the heart of the composition lies a painted black and white electric standard, designed by the renowned American industrial designer, Herbert E. Wheeler. The sleek, modern design of the standard contrasts sharply with the traditional Chinese embroideries and porcelain that surround it. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of the Chinese decorations add a touch of exoticism to the scene, while the delicate porcelain pieces showcase the refined elegance of the era. The unattributed volume of Colour Magazine, published in January 1915, offers a glimpse into the world of decorative arts during this period. Doctor Oxford's article, titled "Odds and Ends," provides an insightful commentary on the importance of incorporating unique and diverse items into one's home decor. The image serves as a visual testament to the enduring appeal of such an approach, which continues to inspire interior designers and collectors to this day. Whether you are a historian, an interior designer, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this image is a must-see for anyone interested in the decorative arts of the early 20th century.
