A 1928 cabinet made by Jean Dunand

Art Déco dealer Anne Hauck didn't even test the waters before plunging into her first venture outside Germany, a new shop on the West Coast selling 1920s and '30s furniture, accessories, artwork and jewelry. Fortunately for Hauck, she's had a very warm reception from L.A. designers, including Philippe Oates and Frank Pennino, and she's gone home several times to ship more containers of items since opening on Robertson Boulevard a year ago. Hauck, who started collecting 18 years ago, has warehouses in Europe that are full of museum-quality pieces, and she has sent to California an unusual lacquered cabinet by Jean Dunand, Hoffmann leather chairs, a Ruhlmann Macassar ebony dressing table and a Leleu sideboard with mother-of-pearl inlay.:: more
