Art Deco design emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by sleek geometric forms, streamlined silhouettes, and the use of luxurious materials such as onyx, chrome, and exotic veneers.

These pieces were frequently crafted from natural banded stones like onyx and alabaster, often paired with metal accents such as brass, silver plate, or chrome hinges and thumb pieces.

Authenticity is typically determined by makers marks or stamps on the metal fittings, period-appropriate construction methods, natural stone variations, and honest signs of age such as minor surface wear.

Such objects work well as sculptural accents on a coffee table, desk, or bookshelf, adding textural contrast and historical interest to contemporary minimalist spaces.

Natural stone should be dusted gently with a dry microfibre cloth and kept away from abrasive cleaners, acidic substances, and prolonged direct sunlight to protect the polished surface.
