Art Deco Cornice
The Art Deco era officially began with the Paris Exabition of 1925 but it is generally acknowledged that its influence started soon after the end of World War 1 in 1918.
In architecture it flourished through the late 1920s through to the beginning Second World War in 1939 when the austerities of war produced a more utilarian style.
Bold geometric shapes with ornament for ornamets sake typify its use in plaster mouldings. It does not pretend to derive its form from its function. It is all about style.
