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.Age: 20th Century / 1901 - 2000
20th Century / 1901 - 2000Main essence: Walnut
Walnut wood comes from the plant whose botanical name is juglans regia , probably originally from the East but very common in Europe. Light or dark brown in color, it is a hard wood with a beautiful grain, widely used in antique furniture. It was the main essence in Italy throughout the Renaissance and later had a good diffusion in Europe, especially in England, until the advent of mahogany. It was used for solid wood furniture and sometimes carvings and inlays, its only big limitation is that it suffers a lot from woodworm. In France it was widely used more than anything else in the provinces. In the second half of the eighteenth century its use decreased significantly because mahogany and other exotic woods were preferred.Material: Walnut Burl Veneer
