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.”

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.

Set of 6 Waterford Donegal Hock Wine Glasses, Vintage
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage set of 6 hock wine glasses was made by Waterford in Donegal pattern. Donegal is a retired cut-crystal pattern, introduced in 1954 and inspired by the Irish town of Donegal. It features distinct diamond and flat cross-cuts on traditional shapes. The pattern is reminiscent of Lismore, with its combination of perpendicular cuts extending upwards from a closely cut starburst pattern, but features additional cut elements and wedge cuts throughout. Hock wine glasses have a long stem and a small bowl, built to place the wine on the tongue to trigger certain taste buds to experience the sweetness. This type of wine glass is recommended for serving any young or sweet wine. The glasses are marked on the bottom with etched Waterford logo that was in use until 1980s. Donegal pattern was designed by Miroslav Havel (1922–2008), glass designer and craftsman, who was the main Waterford designer since 1947. In 1938-1940 he studied engraving in the glass academy at Železný Brod, and worked for a year as a cutter in a glass shop in Malá Skála before studying in the Academy of Art and Industrial Design in Prague. Intent on reviving Waterford's glassmaking tradition if an earlier Waterford glass factory (1783–1851), Havel prolonged regularly visited the National Museum in Dublin to sketch the antique Waterford glass...
