Glamour and exuberance are the terms perhaps most often ascribed to the Art Deco era, which has become synonymous with the roaring 1920s. And that, of course, extends to iconic Art Deco furniture styles.
“The flourishing of Art Deco interior design can be pinned to the period from about 1919 to 1939, the decade between the two World Wars,” explains Anthony Barzilay Freund, editorial director and director of fine art at 1stDibs. “The Art Deco movement reflected the exuberance of the time with a style that was modern, glamorous, and streamlined. Silhouettes drew their inspiration from skyscrapers and ocean liners, displaying dynamic curves and elegantly tiered forms.”
