FAQs

Originating in France during the 1910s and flourishing internationally during the 1920s and 1930s, the Art Deco movement represented modernity, luxury, and technological progress, heavily utilising sleek geometric forms and exotic veneers.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames covered in high-value wood veneers such as walnut, mahogany, or burr maple, often finished with a high-gloss French polish or lacquer, alongside streamlined hardware.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate construction techniques, traditional dovetail joints, genuine wood veneers over secondary woods, original hardware, and characteristic geometric motifs or waterfall edges consistent with 1920s and 1930s manufacturing.

An Art Deco trunk serves as a focal point when paired with minimalist modern furnishings, neutral walls, and metallic accents, allowing the rich grain and sculptural form of the wood to stand out.

To preserve the finish, keep the wood out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth, and occasionally apply high-quality beeswax or furniture polish designed for antique veneers.
