Art deco design: a skyscraper lobby, a perfume bottle and a sunburst gate

Art deco is the 1925 look at any scale, from a marble lobby to a crystal bottle. These nine cross a black-marble skyscraper lobby, a stepped crystal perfume bottle and a gilded sunburst gate, each drawn as an Erté fashion plate, an A. M. Cassandre poster and a brushed Chrysler-metal rendering. Type your own subject and the same stepped geometry redraws it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?

Each image is drawn in portrait format (832×1216) with an even margin — prints clean on A4 held vertically.

Can I use my own subject instead of the three shown?

Yes — that's what the direction field on the page is for. Type your own idea and the same three hands draw it in the same three styles.

Can I get a font or lettering sheet instead of a scene?

Yes — type "a font sample" or similar as your own direction and the pack draws stepped art deco letterforms in the same three hands.

Is this real historical artwork, or new images?

These are new images drawn in the spirit of Erté's fashion plates, A. M. Cassandre's travel posters and Chrysler Building metalwork — not scans or reproductions of existing work.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
