Average Customer Ratings:

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 this stunning book, 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.

Summary: You light up my life...
Comment: I can never get enough of this deco stuff. Another great book that makes a collector drool over the different lamps that were made during that era. Unfortunately, most of the lamps are out of the price range of your average collectors. However, if one keeps an eye out on auction websites, you might get a lucky find. For a serious collector or one who dabbles now and then into the deco world, this book is a great find.

Summary: No Coffee Table Should Be Without...
Comment: Millman's book presents a wide variety of Art Deco lamps, sconces and chandeliers. The photography is superb and beautifully highlights these grand fixtures of a time gone by. While some may only be interested in the Frankarts & Nuarts, this book offers a wide variety of lighting that may still be accessible to those priced out of that extreme high end market. As a diverse collector myself, I can truly appreciate the vast range of lighting, American & European, illustrated in this book and recommend it highly to all interested in the Art Deco era.

Summary: Beautiful book but little substance
Comment: I must say that I was greatly anticipating this book and had preordered the book. I have been to the author's store in New Hope and, although very pricey, had thought the store offered a good selection of Art Deco Lighting, including items made by Frankart, Nuart and Ronson. I was deeply disappointed when I received the book and found no Frankarts -- often viewed by collectors of American Art Deco as some of the best lamps made during the period and highly collectible -- with a few mediocre Nuart lamps pictured. The book is beautifully photographed and very clearly is a labor of love. It is just a great shame that there is little real substance included in the book to give a good overview to those who either truly collect, or are learning more about how and what to collect, lamps from the Deco period. I hope some other author provides a better offering the future.
