Its not the theme or the going with it, it how badly they went with it. That ceiling decoration in the lounge is so .... wrong. And you can buy repro ornate ceiling mouldings that would actually look OK if applied correctly too
I mean, I'm not saying I like it, but it probably looks much less garish IRL.
The estate agents have clearly taken the photos on an overcast day, then (with their usual cack-handed approach to photography) fucked with the sliders in Photoshop until the pictures look less dingy.
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.

Well, they picked a theme and went with it.

I was with you until I clicked through and started swiping at the pictures.
The aesthetic approach seems to have been circling every area that didn’t have trim and adding trim to it, then doing that again and again and again

It's not hideous, just not the most comfortable-looking either.

Honestly with some dark rugs it something it might not be ugly.

Keep swiping the pictures

I would have been stoked to live there in my 20s.
My reasons for not wanting to live there now have more to do with it being an apartment than the aesthetic.

On the other hand... isn't it?

Had to squint to look at these images. How do you keep this place clean? So many places you need to dust.
I like the golden toilet brush.

The old fashioned way of modern all-in-white style.

It's definitely a place where gold lamé slippers and a silk smoking jacket would fit right in...

I was surprised to see lions over the couch instead of a reclining nude.

The lions are nude, if that helps...

If the toilet is not made of gold, no deal!

Location, location, Location. And a reasonable layout.
That is some crazyhouse decor, hopefully it doesn't come furnished.
