Join the Art Deco Society of Virginia as they head to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts this Sunday for a private group tour of the museum’s internationally recognized collection of Art Deco and Art Nouveau decorative arts.

Starting at 2 p.m., it's a guided tour by the VMFA’s Art Deco specialist Rosaleen Cosby. She’ll lead the group through one of the most prominent and extensive public collections of period objects outside of Paris, and you and friends are all invited.

Meet members of the Art Deco Society (these guys host fabulous parties) and see works by master artisans such as Jean Dunand and Louis Süe, whose 1925 cabinet embellished with exuberant flowers of silver and mother of pearl conveys period sleekness and shimmering sheen. Donald Deskey’s three-panel screen (pictured) delivers Deco energy, too, with its zigzag pattern and shining metal leaf.

The tour will also feature works by celebrated artists Frank Lloyd Wright, Gustav Stickley, Louis Comfort Tiffany and Eileen Gray. Gray’s Pirogue Chaise Longue, made of wood, lacquer and silver leaf, is one of my absolute favorite pieces in the museum’s whole collection.

There’ll be plenty to satisfy jewelry lovers, too, and florid velvet Art Nouveau upholstery fabrics by Alphonse Mucha and Georges de Feure are really worth extra looks.
