Description

This dazzling text takes the reader on a journey through time, rolling back the years, revealing the elegant, streamlined, moderne art deco chrome wares received as gifts in decades past.

Contained between these covers are no fewer than 600 photographs and illustrations displaying more than 700 examples of fine art deco wares with sparkling metal finishes, including table decorations, drinking service pieces, buffet service items, smoking articles, and lamps.

These items were the products of large, well known firms such as Chase, Manning-Bowman, Kensington, and Revere.

Histories of the firms and the industrial designers who created these objects, along with patent and design information on many of the illustrated wares, are provided as well.

Also included in this thorough text are all of the details necessary to identify art deco design, differentiate between-and care for-a variety of metal finishes, and to determine value.

Values are included in the captions for the items shown.

A bibliography and an appendix listing the Chase giftware items designed by Harry Laylon round out the presentation.
