FAQs

Art Deco furniture, prominent during the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by geometric forms, streamlined contours, and rich natural wood veneers such as burr walnut.

Art Deco bookcases frequently utilised decorative timber veneers, including burr walnut, mahogany, and rosewood, combined with metal hardware such as chrome or brass handles.

Authentic pieces generally feature solid timber internal frames beneath figurative wood veneers, smooth rounded edges, period-appropriate metal hardware, and traditional joinery techniques.

Position a low Art Deco bookcase along a feature wall to act as a grounded focal point, styling the open shelves with curated books and modern ceramic accents.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and periodically apply a high-quality beeswax polish to preserve the natural figure of the timber.
