Originating in Paris, the Art Deco period lasted from the 1910s until the end of the 1930s. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, modernity, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological progress. While Glasgow is not usually associated with Art Deco architecture, it none-the-less has many Art Deco gems.
