FAQs

Art Deco design emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by sleek geometric forms, stylised motifs, and luxurious finishes such as lacquer, exotic veneers, and metallic accents.

Chinoiserie furniture typically employs multiple layers of pigmented lacquer applied to a wooden carcass, featuring hand-painted or gilt motifs inspired by East Asian art, often finished with a craquelure effect to simulate age.

Authentication involves examining construction methods, dovetail joints, internal mirrored surfaces, original glass shelving, period-appropriate hardware, and the aging characteristics of the lacquer finish.

Position the piece as a focal point in a living room or dining area, paired with minimalist contemporary seating to highlight its decorative ornamentation and historical contrast.

Maintain lacquered surfaces by dusting with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding direct sunlight, and keeping the wood away from extreme temperature fluctuations and moisture.
