Trinkets in Hollywood

Not sure what Hollywood Regency looks like?  It is glitz. It is glam. It is black and white. It is bright yellow. It includes a lot of brass.  It is fresh but it incorporates modern furniture with vintage elements like a crisp colorful upholstery. If you still aren't sure, check out old 1940s movies. Look at the styling of the homes.

Hollywood Regency?  Think Audrey Hepburn. Or Katherine Hepburn. Clark Gable. Marilyn Monroe. Vivienne Leigh. Elvis Presley. Rita Hayworth....or even Mad Men.

The stars were known for their cocktail parties.  At a cocktail party, you need room to move around and room to be seen.  The personalities are the focal point, not the room.  The room should be clean lined, with small furniture and perhaps some ornate artworks or mirrors. 

Here is a Hollywood Regency trinket box.  It is vintage and a bit dusty. But clean it up and this baby could sit on any piano or dresser in any Hollywood house in the Mid Century.
