Art Deco penetrated all kinds of art: painting, sculpture, music (Stravinsky, Prokofiev, jazz), theatre sets and costumes (Cocteau, Diaghilev, Meyerhold), even literature (“The Great Gatsby” by Francis Scott Fitzgerald). It’s simply impossible to list all the names of talented authors who created masterpieces in the Art Deco style. But we suggest taking a closer look at architecture. More specifically at a particular London house built in the Art Deco style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s worth noting that in each of the European countries, in America Art Deco absorbed local features, remaining an international style. London is a city that has absorbed throughout its long history many architectural masterpieces of different styles, as well as hundreds of the best examples of Art Deco, from palaces and public buildings (Eltham Palace, Greater London House or Bibendum) to private houses. Yet a small proportion of these mansions on quiet, leafy streets have been carefully preserved inside and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you want to relax in your private life and get away from the intrusive minimalism of “techno” that dominates architecture and design everywhere nowadays (in cafes, at work, in flats)\u2026 we offer you a unique example: an Art Deco house that has preserved many elements of exterior and interior decoration, with restored authentic fireplaces, doors, stairs, even locks and much more. The mansion was built in 1920 by architect Charles Cowles Voysey, son of the famous C.F.A. Voysey, one of the founders of the Arts and Crafts movement and the Modern Style (British Art Nouveau).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
