EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photograph from the 1920s, captures the essence of an afternoon tea break in this elegant image. The scene is set in a quintessential Parisian drawing room, where two women, dressed in the height of 1920s fashion, sit in profile at a small table. The women, with their refined air and poised posture, exude an air of sophistication and leisure. In their hands, they hold cigarette holders, the tips of which are adorned with lit cigarettes. The women take a momentary pause from their tea to enjoy a cigarette, an indulgence that was considered fashionable and chic during this era. The room is bathed in soft, natural light that filters in through the open French doors, casting a warm glow over the scene. The table is set with delicate china teacups, a silver teapot, and an assortment of pastries, all remnants of a delightful afternoon tea. The women's profiles are framed by the ornate detailing of the room's decor, which includes intricate molding, ornate mirrors, and rich fabrics. The overall effect is one of refined luxury and indulgence, a moment in time frozen in history. This photograph, taken in 1923, is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of women during the 1920s. It captures the essence of an afternoon tea break, a time for relaxation and enjoyment, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of this timeless tradition. The image is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the past, and a reminder of the simple pleasures that continue to bring joy and comfort to this day.
