Art Deco Lighting

ART DECO STYLE

Art Deco furniture is characterized by its celebration of modern life. More than its emphasis on natural wood grains and focus on traditional craftsmanship, vintage Art Deco dining chairs, tables, desks, cabinets and other furniture — which typically refers to pieces produced during the 1920s and 1930s — is an ode to the glamour of the “Roaring Twenties.” 

ORIGINS OF ART DECO FURNITURE DESIGN

CHARACTERISTICS OF ART DECO FURNITURE DESIGN

  • Bold geometric lines and forms, floral motifs
  • Use of expensive materials such as shagreen or marble as well as exotic woods such as mahogany, ebony and zebra wood
  • Metal accents, shimmering mirrored finishes
  • Embellishments made from exotic animal hides, inlays of mother-of-pearl or ivory

ART DECO FURNITURE DESIGNERS TO KNOW

VINTAGE ART DECO FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS

Few design styles are as universally recognized and appreciated as Art Deco. The term alone conjures visions of the Roaring Twenties, Machine Age metropolises, vast ocean liners, sleek typography and Prohibition-era hedonism. The iconic movement made an indelible mark on all fields of design throughout the 1920s and ’30s, celebrating society’s growing industrialization with refined elegance and stunning craftsmanship.

Widely known designers associated with the Art Deco style include Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, Eileen Gray, Maurice Dufrêne, Paul Follot and Jules Leleu.

The term Art Deco derives from the name of a large decorative arts exhibition held in Paris in 1925. “Art Deco design” is often used broadly, to describe the work of creators in associated or ancillary styles. This is particularly true of American Art Deco, which is also called Streamline Moderne or Machine Age design. (Streamline Moderne, sometimes known as Art Moderne, was a phenomenon largely of the 1930s, post–Art Nouveau.)

Art Deco textile designers employed dazzling floral motifs and vivid colors, and while Art Deco furniture makers respected the dark woods and modern metals with which they worked, they frequently incorporated decorative embellishments such as exotic animal hides as well as veneers in their seating, case pieces, living room sets and bedroom furniture.

From mother-of-pearl inlaid vitrines to chrome aviator chairs, bold and inventive works in the Art Deco style include chaise longues (also known as chaise lounges) and curved armchairs. Today, the style is still favored by interior designers looking to infuse a home with an air of luxury and sophistication.

The vintage Art Deco furniture for sale on 1stDibs includes dressers, coffee tables, decorative objects and more.

Dutch Art Deco desk lamp by Daalderop, 1920s
Located in EVERDINGEN, NL
A rare Dutch Art Deco table lamp or bedside light by Dutch manufacturer Daalderop, c. 1925. The piece is in excellent condition regarding its age. These lamps were produced in brass and nickel plate. This one is the nickel version. The lampshade is made of painted parchment, and is reminiscent of batik (tie-dyed) designs by Bogtman. The top can come off to change the lightbulb. Because of punched holes in the top as well as the bottom the light shines through these holes when placed in a dark room, which has a lovely effect on the surrounding surface. These holes had an aesthetic function as well as necessary in those times for the heat of the (incandescent) lightbulb to escape. It now works with modern energy efficient (E27) lightbulbs. The one that is now inside will be included. The Daalderop factory was founded in 1880 by J.N. Daalderop. in the eraly years they produced household items like tableware, pots and dishes, kettles, and gas lamps. The style of the products evolved towards that of art deco and the Amsterdam School. At the end of the 1930s, the company had approximately a thousand employees, making it one of the largest employers in Tiel. The family business was under the undisputed leadership of Johan Daalderop (1883-1961). Until the Second World War their most important designer was Meine Huisenga. Klaas van Aken was also one of the designers. The lamp is depicted in the Dutch Art Deco/Art Nouveau guide...
