Book Description
Art Deco is a term used to define a period in the 1930s whereby designers applied geometric designs and machine age materials to create a futuristic look to home furnishings and decor. The close to 300 full-colour photos of furniture, coffee and tea services, bar items, radios, cigarette cases and ashtrays, and living room decor capture the feeling of this period of geometric simplicity.
Reader Reviews
This is a fun little book. It's being little is my only complaint. For the price I would like to have had a bit more. However, it does have a lot of color photos nicely reproduced so you can really see the designs. It has a nice mix of furniture, accessories and even appliances from that period. Books that showcase museum pieces are nice to look at but "Affordable Art Deco" is for the rest of us -- those who want to create a Deco look in our homes. The authors give an idea of what things should cost, which is very helpful. For instance, two lighted art glass cigarette stands should run $75-$150, depending on condition. I've seen the same stands at an antique store priced at $400. I thought that excessive but now I have backup. I certainly don't regret purchasing "Affordable Art Deco" and would recommend it to anyone out there shopping for the real deal, e.g.; Not just looking at it in a museum.
