Art Deco was a popular design style in the 1920s and 1930s characterised especially by sleek geometric or stylised forms. It represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. For that reason silver cocktail and barware were popular categories of goods to reflect the style of the time.

The Napier Company was one of the first modern corporations in the United States, known for jewellery but also, historically, as a cutting-edge silver designer and manufacturer.
