Art Deco yes or no?

I prefer Art Garfunkel.

A fly switch...

Thanks, but it was more of a nudge-nudge wink-wink suggestion that I perceive that man to be Glasgowcyclist himself. Obscure, I know.

Art deco isn't my favourite period, but I'd love a wireless set or two from the time.

Is "Tiffany" Art Deco? I have my eye on this.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262895823534
I know it's not an original, but i think with original 1930's electrical items they could be a fire hazard

Tiffany is Art Nouveau.

In very general terms if it's flowery and decorative it Art Nouveau. If it's geometric that tends to indicate an Art Deco design.

Nice but for me the 'Arts and Crafts' style of the period was better, I've even got a couple of 'William Morris' style chairs.

I love the Arts and Craft movement designs but I love to mix the 3 and go for a more eclectic look.

If you like it go for it.

Too many people spend their money on stuff they think they should like and have rather than what they actually like and what suits them and their lifestyle.

How about this? Could this be described as Art Deco?

Like every style it comes in and out of fashion. I remember in the fifties and sixties you couldn't give Art Deco stuff away but now its highly sought after.

The architectural style is one of my favourites and this old Hoover factory on the Great West Rd is one of the best, now a Tesco.

I love those type of buildings. I've been flicking through my memory images and can't think of anything like that within 10 miles of these parts .I was cycling through Preston Lancs last year and stopped to marvel at such a building

Art Deco in my book. Wimpers nailed the definition back that way ^^ a moment ago.

How about this poster?

I think it'd look nice with this type of frame.

We've a similar building in Newcastle, the Wills Building. Used to be a cigarette factory but has since been converted to "luxury" apartments.

Here's one of our local cinemas - it's been redone on the inside to make 4 screens instead of one ginormous one.

Letchworth Broadway in 1938... and more recently
