If you like the Art Deco era...
..and wish to learn a bit more about the Art Deco lights that graced the homes of that exciting time in America's history when gangsters ran the streets, speak-easys were common, and rich ex-businessmen sold apples on corners for a penny - then the Kelly Art Deco Light Museum gives a rare glimpse of the years 1928 to 1938. The variation of designs for this time period is simply amazing. And best of all - admission is free! It has the unique attribute of being the ONLY American Art Deco slip-shade museum in the world today. It is estimated that you could visit 100 antique shops and not find one of these lights. And some lights, you would never see - even after visiting 10,000 shops! Some lights are so rare that no books have ever documented them and some became obsolote before a catalog could be made to sell them. It was a turbulent time in American History. Think about it... apples selling for a penny while some of these fixtures were selling during the depression for $25. The customers had to be very interested indeed. |
