Art Deco Bookends
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
- Emerged in the 1920s
- Flourished while the popularity of Art Nouveau declined
- Term derives from 1925’s Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) in Paris, France
- Informed by Ancient Egypt, Cubism, Futurism, Louis XVI, De Stijl, modernism and the Vienna Secession; influenced Streamline Moderne and mid-century modernism
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.

Located in Forney, TX
A fabulous pair of high-quality patinated bronze American Art Deco period bookends by Ronson Art Metal Works, circa mid-1920s, #7072, tilted "Cherub And Butterfly".
Created in the early 20th century, the beautifully detailed works depict sculptural high relief figures of classical winged cherub putti seated among leaves, each enchanting putti holding a closed book, while their raised hands grasp butterflies.

Provenance / Acquisition:
A fine and magnificent private estate in Greenwich, Connecticut
Acquired from the reputable auction house Blackrock Galleries, Greenwich, Connecticut
Maker:
Ronson's Art Metal Works, founded by Louis V. Aronson (1869-1940) in the 1800s, was a leader and pioneer in the manufacture of fine decorative metalwares into the 1930s, producing a diverse selection of beautifully designed bookends, figural lighters, hood ornaments, figurines, lamps, and more.
Dimensions: (approx)
6.5" High, 4.5" Wide, 4.5" Deep (each)
History:
Louis Aronson while still a student in the mid 1880s, registered his first patent for the electroplating of metal. In 1886, he sold his patent, raising $5,000, to start the Art Metal Company in New York City. The following year, he moved the company to Newark, NJ and changed the name to Art Metal Works.
Ronson is best known for cigarette lighters, he invented the “safety match” in 1897, and the first mechanical cigarette lighter in 1910. But it was throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Ronson Art Metal Works became one of the most prolific and creative of all artistic bookend producers. In 1915, he copyrighted his first pair of bookends, and by 1936 had over 150 copyrighted bookends in his company catalog. By 1928 the company was traded on the American stock exchange...
