<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 135893, member: 25&quot;]I am more inclined to the 1960s.&nbsp; Europe in the forties was mostly concerned with destruction, both self and others. Economically the European countries involved in WWII were wrecked, it was into the 50s before any new decorative trends materialised This harks back to a shape inspired by art deco with non deco decoration, and chrome plating, discovered for consumer goods in the 30s was again popular in the 60s.</p><p><br /></p><p>People tend to forget that there was no smooth evolution of style in the 20th C. The First World War caused a&nbsp; massive shift in taste among the survivors, as did WWII. Very little dates from the 1940s apart from classics of military equipment like the German Tiger tank and the British Sten gun. </p><p><br /></p><p>Tea sets and dressing table trays were not a high priority.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
