3.0 out of 5 stars
A very ambitious tytle for this book,
By RAMON ALVAREZ (MADRID, MADRID Espagne) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art Deco House Style: An Architectural and Interior Design Source Book (House Style Series) (Hardcover)
The book deals mainly with the 1930s houses in England, not specially noted for Art Deco. Many of the popular market interpretations of the Art Deco style in the UK at that time were and are somewhat "kitsch", and the book reproduces them in full colour.There are few decorative elements of the 1920s, non-English, that are worth while. The photography is good, as is the printing, the weak point is on the examples shown. Reading the bibliography gives a clue to the contents.

Middle Class Art Deco,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Art Deco House Style: An Architectural and Interior Design Source Book (Paperback)
Many of the Art Deco reference books are very high quality "coffee table" productions that highlite museum quality Art Deco creations. They are fantastic books but as the owner of middle class Art Deco home, I know that objects presented in these books are way beyond my economic means. I can admire them but never afford these iconic art pieces. The beauty of Ingrid Cranfield's "Art Deco House Style" is that it concentrates on more modest homes and interiors. Nearly every page is filled with period photographs of house exteriors, furniture and other household objects. At $16 new or $10 used, this is a very reasonably priced reference book more suitable for the book shelf than the coffee table. A good value and highly recommended for the regular person with a 1930's home.

This review is from: Art Deco House Style: An Architectural and Interior Design Source Book (Paperback)
This book is exactly what I was looking for! The reviews I read on amazon.com convinced me to buy it because they said it was great for someone who owned an art deco style house and they were right. I would recommend it.
