FAQs

Art Deco emerged in France during the 1910s and flourished internationally during the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by sleek geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and the use of luxurious exotic timbers and modern industrial materials.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames overlaid with decorative wood veneers such as birds eye maple or walnut, often combined with hand-tooled leather writing surfaces and traditional joinery methods.

Authentic items from the period generally display period-accurate construction methods, natural ageing in the timber and veneers, genuine hand-applied finishes, and specific hardware styles consistent with 1920s and 1930s manufacturing.

An antique desk can serve as a striking focal point in a modern home office or living room when paired with minimalist seating and neutral surroundings to highlight the natural grain and warmth of the wood.

Maintain these pieces by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, dusting regularly with a dry soft cloth, and occasionally treating leather inserts with specialist conditioning balms.
