Art Deco Barker Upright Piano Chrome Mahogany Geometric Case Styling

About the Item

A 1930's Barker upright piano with an Art Deco style mahogany case. Cabinet features strong angular styling, evident in the chamfered corners at the top and bottom of the case and piano cheeks. Piano features chrome cuboid light fittings on the front panel. This design is mirrored in the chrome, stepped rcuboid legs. This piano is of smaller dimensions and would fit a smaller space. Art Deco Art Deco first appeared in France in the 1910s and flourished in the United States and Europe during the 1920s and 1930s. During its heyday, it represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. Art Deco was influenced by the bold geometric forms of Cubism and the bright colours of Fauvism. In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, Art Deco became more subdued. New materials arrived, including chrome plating, stainless steel and plastic. A sleeker form of the style, called Streamline Moderne, appeared in the 1930s, featuring curving forms and smooth, polished surfaces.
