Arts Décoratifs

Went to Manchester to see A, P and grand-daughter M. Brilliant day. This stained glass is in their front door and window to the side.

Art Deco started in France between 1908 and 1912, then spread like wildfire. Really kicked in after the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1925, which is where the term comes from.

Their house is early Edwardian so the glass probably could be labelled Art Deco. Anyway, who's bothered about labels; Arts Décoratifs feels right...
