4.0 out of 5 stars
The Designs of the Paris Salon Brought to You,
This review is from: Art Deco Jewelry Designs in Full Color (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
A typical Dover reprint of public domain material, but in this case well done. Original drawings from the Le plus bel album du monde pur les industries de luxe published in Paris at the height of the Art Deco period. These are the design drawings, not pictures of the finished pieces. There is a brief publishers note, but no other commentary to put the designs in perspective.
A good resource for crafts inspirations, but not a book of patterns or designs. Since these are drawings it is not always apparent what the finished piece, if it was ever created, would look like, but perhaps that is all to the better as an inspirational source. I am confused by Dover's restrictive copyright since the material is public domain, but if you are interested in copying the designs for your own projects you should have no problem. Overall a fine example of the art deco sensibility expressed in jewelry. |
