Olde Good Things’ collection of vintage Art Deco lighting offers the opportunity to preserve the spirit of the lavish lifestyle of the Roaring 20’s and 30’s…a time of scientific innovation and Modernist ingenuity in art and design.
Art Deco style was born in Europe in the 1910’s, after which it flourished throughout the 1920’s and 30’s across Europe and the United States. Characterized by sleek, sophisticated forms complemented by decadent colors and materials, Modernist Art Deco design is a movement that will forever be associated with opulence and luxury.

New York City’s Chrysler Building. Empire State Building, and American Radiator Building are the most emblematic structures of Art Deco architecture in the world. Finland’s Helsinki Central Station, the Opera de Marseilles in France, and the National Diet building in Tokyo, Japan are other prominent global examples of Art Deco style. Vertical lines, geometric patterns, decorative frieze, bold lines, and the use of chrome and other metals are all significant elements of Art Deco design. These same elements were transposed onto lighting design during the haut Art Deco era.
Art Deco lighting made use of modern innovations in materials and manufacturing. Lighting fashioned in Art Deco style was a vital part of the interior design of prestigious New York Skyscrapers as well as public spaces and lobbies in Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and numerous hotels and prime hotspots of the Jazz Age.
