What Defines Art Deco

Art Deco emerged in Paris after the First World War and shaped furniture, architecture, and fashion through the 1940s. Typical features include geometric shapes, symmetrical layouts, fine veneers such as Macassar ebony, walnut burl, and birch, along with chrome, brass, and mirrored glass. In Germany, Art Deco is often associated with the post-war modernism of the 1950s: many of our pieces stand precisely at this boundary. Related styles under Mid-Century and Antiques.

Frequently Asked Questions About Art Deco

How can I recognize genuine Art Deco furniture?

By its rounded corners, high-gloss veneers with bookmatching, chrome or brass handles, and a construction of solid wood with veneer. We specify the period for each piece as precisely as the evidence allows.

Does Art Deco work with modern furniture?

Excellently. An Art Deco dresser next to a simple sofa looks like a piece of jewelry.

How should I care for high-gloss veneers?

Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, use no abrasive cleaners, and avoid direct sunlight. Small scratches can be polished out.

What is the difference between Art Deco and Art Nouveau?

Art Nouveau (around 1900) features floral, flowing ornamentation. Art Deco (from 1920 onward) is geometric, sleek, and glossy.
