Dear Sophie -
Since you are reading Fitzgerald, I thought I would share a sampling of some images from the 1920's.
Some key figures in cinema were FRITZ LANG (Metropolis), HAROLD LLOYD and the actress LOUISE BROOKS.
ART DECO started in France where RUHLMANN was the master. He designed furniture and interiors for private clients as well as for the NORMADIE luxury liner.
He used rare materials such as Brazilian rosewood, Macassar ebony and ivory.
