Bric-a-brac
1922
Step right up to the Parisian flea market of 1922! Fernand Siméon captures the chic chaos of 'Bric-A-Brac' shopping in this stylish illustration from the fashion magazine *Modes et Manières d'Aujourd'hui*. A fashionable woman in a cloche hat bends low to inspect a humble copper kettle, while her companion clutches a delicate porcelain figurine, seemingly judging its worth. With a guitar hanging in the background and a dapper gentleman looking on, this piece perfectly freezes the trendy obsession with vintage hunting that swept through the Jazz Age, showing that the thrill of the hunt never goes out of style.
