LOVE the 20's. The slinky, shimmy dresses, bobbed hair, cupid's bow lips, penciled brows....the sexiness of it all.
I just had to post this picture of Louis Brooks looking impossibly chic.

This Cartier clutch feels as though it has a bit of the Egyptian influence similar to this even though the source calls it Art Deco.

In 1922 they discovered Tut's tomb, so there was revival of Egyptian-influenced pieces. I would agree that this is more neo-Egyptian than Art Deco (but so often sellers say something's Art Deco, when it's clearly Art Nouveau, and vice-versa).
