    Then scan for crisp geometry: stepped forms, repeated angles, zigzags, and chevrons 🪞.
  • Gray velvet accent chair beside a small round side table, set against black wallpaper with repeating gold fan/sunburst motifs above white wainscoting.

    Next, watch the motif style: sunbursts, fan forms, and other ornament that feels stylized, not naturalistic 🌞.
  • Close-up of a glossy black glass coffee table with faceted reflective chrome-like legs, styled with a tray, candle, and books, surrounded by tufted dark gray seating.

    Finish with the shine test: chrome, lacquer, glass, brass, and glossy dark surfaces signal the machine-age mood. The more of these cues you see working together, the stronger the Deco read 🌟.
