Decade Edits No. 001 — The Art Deco Field Notes

A two-page field guide to spotting real Art Deco in the wild.

The genuine article turns up more often than you'd think. On a bottom shelf. At the back of an estate sale. Mislabeled at the thrift, waiting for someone who knows what they're looking at.

Decade Edits No. 001 contains short field notes on reading the era — the lines that give it away, the materials that prove it, and how to tell a true 1920s piece from a lovely 1980s tribute. Print it, fold it into your bag, and stop second-guessing the sunburst clock.

It's free, and it's yours. The first dispatch from The Haus Almanac, our weekly on objects, eras, and the stories still worth telling. Download here.

And while you're here, Haus Finds is where we source real vintage objects, research them properly, and tell you exactly what you're looking at — story and all. See what's available in Haus FInds.
