Are you contemplating an art deco project? Here's a great resource for images. The 1stdibs website sells very pricey originals and replicas of designer products. Shop away, if the price tags don't throw you.
For artisans, it is a treasure trove of clear images of great products from which to pattern pieces in any scale. Most have pictures from multiple angles. The top navigation bar has these tabs: Furniture, Fine Art, Jewelry & Watches, Fashion, Collections, Magazine.
The radio pictured is the Sparton Model 557 "Sled" Radio, designed by Walter Drown Teague. Price: $5,900. Does it work? Not necessarily. The description includes the statement that “this prime example of a highly sought after Art Deco streamline style of radio, with 'speed lines.' is sold as a decorative piece.”
Ah, well. We all have to accessorize. Still, this website is a great resource.
