Art Deco Lanterns

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.

Art Deco Asian Style Lantern Pendant with Stylized Trees Graphics & Brass Canopy
Located in Lisse, NL
Handcrafted and rare, Asian style, opaline glass lantern pendant. This rare combination-of-styles pendant is in superb condition and a joy to own and look at. We had never before seen a 1920s pendant of this rare Asian design and to have found it in this amazing condition more than made our day. This quality crafted, opaline glass shade is of a beautiful, geometrical Art Deco design. The calm colors that were used to paint the Asian tree and mountainside graphics onto the opaline glass surface give this pendant an extra serene quality, both with the light switched on and off. It is why we refer to this piece as the 'Zen Pendant'. The original bronzed brass gallery including the chain and canopy also add to this rare light's serene look and feel. They just don't make rare light fixtures of this quality and beauty anymore. To us this mixture of worldly styles and wonderful materials brings out the best of both those two worlds. Finally, its practical size makes this light perfect for an entrance, for a bedroom, for a landing or for a particular area in your living room. The warm light it radiates will help create just the right atmosphere you are looking for. If you feel as good about this rare antique fixture as we do then we are certain that this work of lighting art too will help toward making your house your home. It is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well. Mind you, our fair price for this 1920s ceiling lamp...
