Question: art deco christmas trees

Help me find images of Christmas trees decorated in an art deco style.

Whole tree is ideal, ornaments alone are okay. I do understand what art deco style is in general, but am specfiically looking for Christmas trees.

An ebay search turned up this 1929 Arts and Decoration Magazine. It's the Christmas edition and looks to be pretty cheap.

Here's an art deco postcard with a christmas tree.

Here's an interesting and maybe helpful website: The Antique Christmas Lights Site

They have this page which might have a bunch of helpful information.

I'm still doing research.

Are you looking for ideas for your own Christmas tree, or just images in general?

San Diego's Hotel Del Coronado (on Coronado) does a fabulous Christmas Tree and has done so since 1904. It's generally got a very 'antique' feel to it, and is beautiful.

Thanks guys. I'm actually helping my mother out with some research for a catalog cover (not this Christmas, it's a bit late already, but rather designs for next year), so the variety of responses here is awesome.

Indeed, the rubylane.com site that allthewhile linked to has a pretty good search, and more images than just the one he linked to...

I'm still reading though!
