Five To View: Art Deco Properties

Art Deco is quite possibly the architectural equivalent of Marmite, given its tendency to divide people into two distinct camps: lovers or loathers.

I’m on the loving it side, myself, particularly when it comes to properties. I love the blend of gracious curves and crisp lines, the flat roofs, the flurry of windows, and the frequently extravagant designs.

But most of all, I love Art Deco’s ability to transport you to a different era, back to the glamour and elegance of the 1920s and early ’30s - no surprise, then, that these properties are also feted by producers of period TV shows and films.

So, in the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, whip up a Martini, adopt a languid pose on a chaise longue, and peruse our lavish five to view:
