well if that is the case then they are being deceptive in not noting it on all the items
eg

I was excited to see the catalog when Dianne posted but disappointed it is not original items'

Hi Craig and Dianne
yes I am sure people buy it and yes, these also show up on eBay, sadly sometimes misrepresented as the real thing....however my comment wasnt whether people may or may not want fakes but rather that a nicely laid out website that appears to be genuine Art Deco is selling so many reproductions ie Art Deco style as opposed to original Art Deco. granted, they do state these are repops...still....it just changes the nature of the catalog to have the repops along side the originals. JMHO

Cheri, that is what people want if they didn't want it the manufactors would not make stuff.

oh dear! with all the nice things in that catalog why oh why would they include *cheap reproductions* of Hoffman's "The Small Bath" ???!!!

it seems a number of other items in the category are also modern reproductions?

Hi and welcome. My husband had some Menneville aka Roggia in his collection in London, which we sold when moving to USA.
We would love to see photos of any in your collection :)

Statuary is my art deco love. Does anyone have some sculptures by the artistd Menneville?
