From mid-century to present day, every generation discovers it all over again!

The History of Art Deco

What makes it Art Deco?

This form of the decorative arts takes inspiration from older fine arts as well as modernism.

The key features of Art Deco home accessories are prominent and well-defined curves and lines. Applied decoration is also important to the look, including sunbursts, geometric shapes, and stylized floral designs.

Art Deco Materials

The sleek lines are made even more alluring by the use of glossy and shiny materials. This creates a sense of opulence, which makes an interesting contrast to the relatively unfussy silhouettes of the furniture. The reflective surfaces might include glass, mirror, lacquered finishes and metals, especially chrome. Gorgeous slabs of marble are typical on buffets or other furniture. These materials are substantial but also glamorous. Everybody feels in the mood for a party when they see one of these pieces. It immediately feels like it is time to shine up the cocktail shaker, dress up in your finest Roaring Twenties outfit, and start sparkling!

This architectural style will work perfectly with many different interior design styles, including modern and contemporary schemes. You can be sure that any antique or vintage Art Deco furniture will become a focal point in your room, thanks to the fine craftsmanship, chic lines and sensuous finishes.
