FAQs

Art Deco furniture emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, favouring sleek geometric forms and the luxurious use of exotic or highly figured veneers such as burr elm, walnut, and amboyna to showcase natural grain patterns.

These pieces typically utilise solid timber or complex veneers applied to sturdy secondary woods, often featuring hand-turned or shaped legs and traditional joinery techniques such as dowels or mortise and tenon.

Authenticity is determined by examining the depth of the grain, ageing characteristics of the finish, traditional construction methods, and natural wear patterns consistent with the early twentieth century.

Pair the organic textures and rich figuration of the wood with minimalist upholstery, neutral tones, and metallic accents to create a balanced focal point in a living room.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and treating periodically with appropriate beeswax or furniture polish.
