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 Art Deco Lighting, 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 todays
competitive marketplace. The owners of Cockamamies
antiques shop in New Hope, Pennsylvania, authors
Herb Millman and John Dwyer specialize in decorative
arts from the Art Deco and 1950s eras.
