Art Deco Decorative Objects

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.

"Spear Dancer", Spectacular, Rare Bronze with Male Nude by Brenda Putnam
"Spear Dancer", Spectacular, Rare Bronze with Male Nude by Brenda Putnam

"Spear Dancer", Spectacular, Rare Bronze with Male Nude by Brenda Putnam

By Brenda Putnam

Located in Philadelphia, PA

In an era when artists were capturing the exoticism and athleticism of modern dancers, such as Richmond Barthé's depiction of Féral Benga dancing with a large, curved sword or Paul Colin's drawings of Josephine Baker with her skirt of bananas, this sensuous presentation of a nude male dancer with a long spear stands out. The bronze was sculpted in 1926 by Brenda Putnam, who is best known for a series of bronzes showing children at play, often placed in gardens and parks. However, Putnam was ambitious to do more, leaving academic sculpture behind as she collaborated with architect Paul Philippe Cret to create the Puck Fountain for the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., executed a number of portraits in bronze, exhibited at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, and created "The Crest" -- consisting of a a large male nude swimming...

Dimensional 1930's French Art Deco Frosted Geometric Glass Vase attrib to Vianne

Located in Red Lion, PA

This exceptional piece is a definitive example of 1930s French Art Deco "Boule" or ball-form glass, a style that perfectly captures the high-energy, avant-garde spirit of the Jazz Age. As designers transitioned away from the soft, flowing curves of the Art Nouveau period, they began to embrace a more disciplined "Machine Age" aesthetic. You can see that shift here in the bold, architectural precision of the vessel. Crafted from thick, high-quality molded glass, the vase consists of softly frosted glass that gives it a sophisticated, satin-matte finish. This specific surface treatment is essential to the design; it catches and diffuses light in a way that creates deep, dramatic shadows and highlights across the intricate relief patterns, making the geometry feel incredibly tactile. The design itself is a sophisticated exploration of cubist-inspired forms. It features a complex, highly dimensional landscape of interlocking motifs, including sharp vertical lines, layered angular squares and rectangles, and perfectly symmetrical stacked circles. This rhythmic pattern covers the entire spherical body, leading up to a classic flared upper lip and resting on a stable, flat base. This silhouette would have served as a striking centerpiece in a stylish Parisian salon during the interwar years and remains just as impactful in a modern interior today. While the vase is unsigned, its specific molded technique and decorative language are strongly attributed to the renowned Vianne glassworks, or Verreries de Vianne...

Charles Lemanceau Rare Art Deco Ceramic Bear Couple "sur la banquise", 1935

By Charles Lemanceau

Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR

Couple of Bears" by Charles Lemanceau, Sainte-Radegonde, France, circa 1935. This striking and rare French Art Deco ceramic sculpture, titled "Sur la Banquise" (On the Ice Field), depicts a charming couple of bears in an elegant, minimalist style. Created by renowned artist Charles Lemanceau in the mid-1930s, this rare and highly sought-after piece showcases his mastery of ceramic craftsmanship. The sculpture is produced in a distinctive crackle glaze technique, a hallmark of Lemanceau's work and the French Art Deco period. Dimensions: Width: 24.4" (62 cm), Height: 13.6" (34.5 cm). Condition: Very good, with some minor imperfections typical of the technique used during this period.
