FAQs

Art Deco furniture, emerging in the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by sleek geometric shapes, streamlined silhouettes, and a strong emphasis on modern industrial materials combined with luxurious finishes.

These pieces frequently utilised solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and oak, often enhanced with exotic wood veneers like burr walnut or birds eye maple, complemented by brass or chrome hardware.

Authentic pieces display period-specific construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, genuine wood veneers over solid secondary woods, and appropriate patination on the hardware and surfaces.

This type of functional furniture works well as a focal point in a study or living room, contrasting cleanly against minimalist contemporary walls and neutral colour palettes.

Maintain the wood by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and periodically applying high-quality beeswax to nourish the finish, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
