Art Deco Furniture: The French Designers Paperback – June 17, 1997

Very well organized. Good overview of period designers with some deeper dives.

I am 65 and decided to pursue my life long passion: collecting art deco furniture! This book is exceptional in presenting samples of art deco furniture. Everyday, I look through my book. The pictures blossom, the writing stands out and I feel I can touch the real thing via the images. I cannot understand why furniture manufacturers did not stay with the real thing. I love my book. I carry it with me when I visit antique shops. Cheers!

Great book. Well packaged and received in good time.

very nice balance of photos and text. Good value production

Great for the price and not a disappointment.

This book is very informative and has great photography! The photos are of pristine quality and the work featured is magnificent. A must-read for all those interested in Art Deco and/or French culture!

The book came in another format with a different cover, but it is a great book nonetheless.

Alistair Duncan presents us 85 of Paris's Art Deco furniture designers from the period 1910 - 1935, including Eileen Gray, Dufréne, Leleu and Ruhlmann. This fine book contains a 7 pages informative introduction with e.g. the history and material of Art Deco furniture. But also 160 pages of biographies of designers, including 244 black and white illustrations & 68 in colour of interiors and furniture, each with a description. Each designer is presented in a concise half a page review. It makes this book an indispensable guide and frame of reference to french Art Deco furniture and a nice book to have on the bookshelf.
