They say Art Deco, I reckon it is more Louis Quatorze. Imagine going all highfalutin like that and your "kitchen" is just tagged on the side of your living room like a commoner.
I think it’s the block of flats that’s Art Deco rather than the interior of that particular one, which is as you say more Louis Quatorze. If he’d been from Essex.
That is the apartment of the Russian oligarchy lineage, who still think that is the epitome of taste in home design because it was the epitome of taste between Peter the Great and bread lines.
I guess it's what I think of as 'new money' because it's what 'new money' decorated places like when I was a kid. Everything had to look like it came out of some 18th century dream chateau.
