In 1998, renowned European Art Deco dealer Anne Hauck introduced her collection of authentic furnishings, lighting, fine art, and accessories from the 1920’s through the 1930’s, in Los Angeles to enthusiastic top designers as well as an exuberant and welcoming public. Before Anne’s arrival, designers and patrons alike were forced to travel to Europe to locate genuine Art Deco pieces. Anne and her unique collections have been vigorously embraced since her first showroom opened on Robertson Blvd. Within a year of Anne's arrival, Anne Hauck Art Deco became an enormous success, much as it had been in the German cities of Frankfurt and Bad Homburg. Now located in the design district on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, Anne Hauck Art Deco boasts the finest collection of genuine Art Deco furnishings, art, and décor on the west coast. “In the beginning”, Anne states, “I had no idea whether or not the Art Deco style would work here, but I soon discovered that there had been an extensive history and tradition of Art Deco and the Art Deco style in Los Angeles, dating back to the days of a young Hollywood.” She continues, “Art Deco is represented in architecture, films…everywhere in Los Angeles. Director Martin Scorcese, whom is renowned for his perfectionism, requested my assistance in decorating and furnishing the sets for his 2005 film “The Aviator” with a large part of my collection.” “The idea” Anne says, “is to locate and acquire unblemished original pieces that were handcrafted by the master craftsmen and women of the era. I have been collecting for over 25 years: without my exclusive sources all over Germany and France, this would be impossible today. I still travel to Europe almost every month to ensure our clientele will be happy!”
