In the 1920s and 30s, the Art Deco style influenced everything from art and architecture to cars and cosmetic accessories. Shown in 350 color photographs, the "objets d'arte" in this thematically arranged book encompass this style at its most alluring, reflecting the modernity, excitement, and social revolution of the Jazz Age. Such items were the height of fashion then and are prized collectibles today—and it's easy to understand why when you see these elegant examples of posters, clocks, cigarette cases, powder compacts, kettles, and some truly spectacular cufflinks.
