Think Art Deco and be transported to the Roaring '20s, a time of
flappers, double-breasted, pin striped suits, speakeasies,
decadence, and elegance. This era took place in the soft and
romantic illumination of early electric lighting fixtures--which
are showcased in this gorgeous new book. The beautiful and often
fantastic Art Deco lighting in homes and public spaces alike are
works of art. Over 590 luminous color photographs, show accent and
figural radio lamps, boudoir lamps, table and desk lamps, overhead
and wall lighting, and floor lighting produced by manufacturers
such as Consolidated Glass, Lightolier, Lincoln, Moe Bridges,
Williamson, Frankart, Nuart, and Chase. The book guides readers
through various types of period lighting and provides a
bibliography and value references in the captions for all the
lighting displayed. It will be a valued addition to the libraries
of interior decorators, restoration buffs, theater goers, and all
who collect period lighting fixtures and enjoy beautiful works of
art.
Electrical lighting fixtures from the 1920s through 1940s reflect
the popular taste for Art Deco styling in public, commercial, and
home interiors. Beautiful color photographs of dramatic lights from
theaters, important houses, great architects, and interior
designers fill this stunning book, showing the great flair for
which the period has become so famous. Fixtures shown include radio
and accent lamps, boudoir lamps, wall sconces, ceiling fixtures,
bridge lamps, torchieres, and smoking stands. Glass shades from the
period are highly prized today for their diverse and exquisite
designs. This book will be a constant reference for architects,
designers, lighting collectors, dealers, and theater historians
because it shows so many diverse examples, relates their specific
details clearly, and includes values in today's competitive
marketplace.
