Additional Information

Style: Art Déco (1920-1950)

The name Art Déco is due to the exhibition held in Paris in 1925, which was called the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Arts and was the successor of the Liberty style.nArt Déco is a stylistic historical period formed after the Liberty floral period, shortly after the end of the First World War.nThere was an almost radical change anticipated by the growth of the Precisionist movement and that of Cubism (in art), the Art-Decò furnishings were characterized by decidedly more rigid lines and the presence of geometric figures, definitively abandoning the sinuous and wavy lines , of objects and furnishings, from the previous Liberty period.nIt asserted itself from the beginning of 1915 until the beginning of the 30s.nThis style was transversal and major exponents were created in the most diverse art forms, from urban architecture to painting, from sculpture to glass masters, from the production of objects such as furnishing accessories to jewellery.

20th Century / 1901 - 2000

Main essence: Beech

It is a semi-hard wood which, unfortunately, is easily wormed, therefore it is considered poor. Due to its light but variegated shades, from blond to reddish, it was nevertheless appreciated by French cabinetmakers. It was mainly used for furniture structures or, as an alternative to walnut, by provincial English furniture makers for popular works, mostly in the 1700s. The noblest use is due to Thonèt, who applied the steam bending of the beech in the making of the furniture, in particular for the chairs that took his name.
