Art Deco Cabinet Knobs

Art Deco cabinet knobs are a wonderful way to show grace and detail in the kitchen. The Art Deco movement, popularized in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s, was characterized by streamlined architecture and precise geometric patterns. Frank Lloyd Wright later extended the movement and incorporated colors and other geometric patterns.

Art Deco doorknobs, push plates and kitchen cabinet knobs are timeless and are a welcome addition to any home. This movement and style exemplify simplicity and beauty. Art Deco knobs and pulls are typically found in cast iron, bronze, antique brass and polished chrome with the most famous Art Deco structures found in Chrome with Brass Accents. While the geometric shapes are now found in many colors, the originals were simpler and always found in cast brass, bronze or chrome.

Art Deco designs are produced today – allowing you to incorporate their patterns in your doors, windows, kitchen cabinets and more. It is a simple way to incorporate a common theme throughout your house. These Art Deco Cabinet Hardware can transform a boring home into a showplace – but be sure to follow a few simple steps.

Note: The Art Deco theme will tie the look together for you. You can also find Art Deco style lighting that will help you achieve your goal of a common theme. You can also ask an interior designer or other design experts for assistance or look to decorating magazines for additional help. by using Art Deco styles, you can use different shapes thorough the house – you need not use the same shapes on Furniture, Doors or Cabinets.

 20th Century Jewelry: The Complete Sourcebook with over 1500 color illustrations


20th Century Jewelry: The Complete Sourcebook with over 1500 color illustrations


$8.16


Here, in more than 1,500 full-color, specially drawn illustrations, is the most comprehensive and detailed history and sourcebook of twentieth-century jewelry ever published. From the 1900s to the year 2000, John Peacock charts the development of every kind and style of jewelry for both women and men: brooches, earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, buckles, dress clips, hair ornaments, rings, watches, cufflinks, and more. Both precious jewelry and costume jewelry appear, as does novelty jewelry.John Peacock is the doyen of fashion illustration. His many books on men’s and women’s fashion and accessories form an unparalleled library for students, collectors, and fashion enthusiasts alike. Many years of research for this book, using paintings, photographs, and the jewelry itself, have allowed him to reproduce in meticulous detail a host of representative pieces from every year of the century. Arranged in twenty-year sections, the pictures are accompanied by complete descriptions of each piece, including details of materials, stones, designs, fastenings, mounts, and surrounds. These highly detailed drawings allow the reader to see how the styles of the great twentieth-century designers and jewelry houses—among them Lalique, Cartier, Chaumet, Chanel, Jensen, Verdura, Schlumberger, Haskell, Harry Winston, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Tiffany & Co.—have filtered down to mass-produced and costume jewelry. Every style is represented: Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts pieces of the early twentieth century; Art Deco of the twenties and thirties; cocktail jewelry of the forties and fifties; Pop Art creations of the sixties and seventies; flashy, ostentatious jewelry of the eighties; and more delicate, retro jewelry of the nineties. The invaluable reference section includes biographies of the century’s leading international jewelers and a concise bibliography. Over 1500 color illustrations.Author Biography: John Peacock was for many years a
