    Some advertisements for furniture in the “modern” style.... dated 1927, 1930 and 1938.... even includes an add for a high quality record player table.
    And a couple of framed pictures quite obviously from the same era.

    Unfortunately not.
    But I did find ONE interesting advertisement from 1913 which I will give to my watchmaker who specializes in electrical movements and who’s really a geek.
    The ad says « You will be the master of time » with Brille’s electrical clock, sold by “J.Auricoste, Watchmaker to the State Navy and the Observatory of the Bureau of Longitudes.”
    “Unlimited warranty”.

    I’m cheating a bit here are it’s not art deco.
    Not really art nouveau either but someone here perhaps will help characterize it?
    A lovely 1920s enameled Mido ladies watch which @Lucasssssss very kindly gifted — bless his generous heart. Some pictures are mine, a number are his.

    An early gas lighter?
    I believe my older brother had one just like it in gold.

    Perhaps the Mido would be considered transitional?

    It looks a bit simplistic for Art Nouveau but still has some flower/leaf elements in the bezel.
    Possibly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement which was, at the time (1930s'ish) in decline as Art Deco was flourishing.

    That Mido is totally Deco. That lighter is Streamline, very different.

    Chicago World’s Fair lamp reflected in my Seiko. The flower frog may be older than the Art Deco period. The mug qualifies, I believe. Stove clock just looked like it belonged in the photo, so I left it.

    Love that lamp!
    A touch of art nouveau and I also love that jug, even though its patterns feel like they are from a later, post-war era I really like it!:thumbsup:

    I has always wanted to go to Italy. Guess would like a combination of big cities and pintoresque towns.

    Sorry, that is NOT "Art Deco". That is "Streamline". Art Deco is that other poster's pocket watch with the enamal and elaborite decoration.

    If there is no elaborate decoration, especially nature themes, it is NOT ART DECO.

    Ahem.

    Love the Art Deco look and style regardless the manner in which it’s utilized. 1925-1930s

    A few reflections of the Art Deco era

    Watch circa early 1930
