Art Deco Aluminum : Kensington, Paperback / softback Book

Description

In 1934 Alcoa introduced a revolutionary new line of aluminum alloy giftware and domestic items designed by American pioneer industrial designer Lurelle Guild.

Called Kensington Ware, these relatively expensive, slick, machine-age objects were in an unmistakenly Art Deco style with cast brass accents.

They represent an important American contribution to modern design and decorative arts.

The Kensington plant ceased production around 1970, and collectors have recently been scooping up these compelling objects in the antique and collectible markets.

This is the first book to tell the Kensington story and identify, value, and illustrate the aluminum in 375 color, vintage, and black-and-white illustrations.

It is a must for anyone interested in aluminum, Art Deco, and the machine-age in America.
