FAQs

Art Deco furniture emerged in the interwar period, characterised by sleek geometric forms, streamlined silhouettes, and the integration of fine woods and luxurious upholstery fabrics.

Pieces typically utilised solid hardwood frames, such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, combined with high-grade leather, velvet, and occasionally exotic veneers like burr walnut.

Authentic items feature period-correct joinery, makers marks or stamps, traditional padding materials like horsehair, and distinct modernist proportions rather than mass-produced uniformity.

Position the sofa as a focal point against neutral walls, complemented by minimalist lighting, metallic accents, and understated geometric rugs to balance its strong historical presence.

Keep leather conditioned with specialised balms to prevent cracking, clean wooden frames with a soft cloth, and protect the piece from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations.
