Art Deco made its signature mark during the 1920s and early 1930s. The style occurred against the backdrop of the Roaring ‘20s in America and recovering Europe on the mend from World War One. It gained popularity once again in the 1960s and then again in the 1980s. The Art Deco style can be found in fashion, architecture, furniture, and art throughout the US and the world. Great examples of Art Deco buildings are New York’s Chrysler Building and Radio City Music Hall. The tropical Art Deco style can be seen in the Art Deco Historic District in Miami Beach, Florida.
Ric Emmett wrote this book as a sequel to his first Gomo book: The Adventures of Gomo the Rubber Duck which was published in 2012. Starting Gomo for President in 2012, he set it aside while he finished his book on Amercian Art Deco Furniture which was published in 2015. All the notes he made for this book as well as what photos went with what text were very clearly marked by Ric so both Iza Emmett and Amanda MacMaster were able to bring the book to life!

This is an antique Art Nouveau etagere in bamboo with chinoiserie detail decorating each shelf surface. It is very good condition, with a minor chip here and there in the chinoiserie, as shown. This can be purchased alone or with one or both of our other bamboo pieces to make a suite.
