About This Item
Paris: Librairie Larousse, 1932. First printing. Hardcover. Good + overall. The International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts was a World's fair held in Paris, France from April to October 1925. The Exhibition's goal was to bring attention and focus to the then new 'style moderne' of architecture, interior decoration, furniture, glass, jewelry and other decorative arts in Europe and throughout the world. This style would come to be known as "Art Deco".
