SO-SCH-2001-0764313479-X2 Art Deco Bakelite Jewelry & Boxes: Cubism by Peter & Deborah Keresztury, Nancy N. Schiffer ISBN: 9780764313479 Book Title: Art Deco Bakelite Jewelry & Boxes: Cubism for Everyone with Price Guide Author: Peter Keresztury, Deborah Keresztury, Nancy N. Schiffer Binding: Hard Cover with dust jacket Copyright: 2001 Pages: 144 Size: 11 x 6.5 in. The Art Deco style of the early 1930s can be seen as domesticated Cubism. As with cubist paintings, the elements of design were reduced to their minimal essence and applied to everyday items for public consumption. Here Bakelite plastic jewelry and boxes are studied as reflections of this style. The book is a visual garden of Deco design, with hundreds of items photographed in color and described with their useful purposes, materials, and current values. Bakelite is collected because it is different and fun. This book is important because it demonstrates how the new Art Deco style provided the Depression-ridden world with color and style in a form most people could afford. 170 Color Photos (Description generated 2026-05-09) 4051db6b43147ce288902167da1690a5
