FAQs

Art Deco emerged in France just before the First World War and flourished internationally during the 1920s and 1930s. Characterised by sleek geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and modern industrial materials, the style represented luxury, glamour, and technological progress.

Cabinets from this era frequently utilised exotic veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, and macassar ebony applied over solid secondary woods. Construction often involved advanced woodworking techniques to achieve curved, aerodynamic silhouettes, complemented by glass panels and brass or plastic hardware.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-correct construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetail joints in drawers and traditional shellac or French polish finishes. Look for genuine wood veneers over sturdy carcases, original glass, and authentic period hardware rather than modern reproductions.

An Art Deco statement piece serves as an exceptional focal point in a contemporary living room or dining space. Pair it with minimalist modern furnishings to let the dramatic geometry and rich wood grains stand out without overwhelming the room.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent veneer cracking. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and periodically apply a high-quality microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish without causing moisture damage.
