Art Deco was the first style of the machine age it leant heavily on its predecessor Art Nouveau. Defined by an art historian as:

"an assertively modern style...[that] ran to symmetry rather than asymmetry, and to the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear; it responded to the demands of the machine and of new material...[and] the requirements of mass production"

Many antique stoves from the 1930s onwards are styled in an art deco fashion but some modern manufactured stoves are also styled this way
