Deco Delights: Unearth Our Selection of Second-Hand Deco and Art Deco Furniture
Art Deco, an influential visual arts design style which first appeared in France during the 1920s, flourished internationally during the 30s and 40s, and waned in the post-World War II era. It's known for its bold geometric forms, vibrant colors, and extravagant ornamentation. This style combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials, characterized by rich colors, bold geometric shapes, and lavish ornamentation.
Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress, especially as the world recovered from World War I. In architecture, Art Deco features streamlined, geometric forms often combined with a symmetrical arrangement and rich, contrasting materials. In interior design, it involves a mix of streamlined and symmetrical shapes with luxurious materials like gold, chrome, and glass. Furniture pieces are typically large and imposing, with smooth surfaces and clean lines.
The style also influenced fashion, jewelry, and cars, presenting an all-encompassing aesthetic that represented modernity and elegance. The Art Deco era was seen as a time of celebration and optimism, and this was reflected in its designs, which were often opulent and indulgent. Despite its decline in the late 1940s, Art Deco has seen resurgences and remains a significant influence in contemporary design, celebrated for its timeless luxury and glamorous modernity.
