About Deco Library

Deco Library is a reference shelf for Art Deco: the architecture, the interiors, the furniture, the typography, and the collecting market that has grown up around all of it.

Every article aims to be the page you’d photocopy — dates, makers, motifs, and how to tell a period piece from a 1980s revival. Where values are mentioned, they come from published auction results, not wishful listings.

We don’t deal in antiques and no gallery pays for placement.
