Chinese Art Deco Sofa, c. 1930

About the Item

In the 1930s, Shanghai, China was swept up in the Art Deco design movement. Design, architecture, art, fashion, and furniture were all influenced by this modern movement, permeating every part of life in the bustling, vibrant city. This stylized club sofa is a product of the time and exemplifies the qualities that make Art Deco so sought after: simple lines, striking colors, and bold geometric shapes that remain timeless, even after so many decades. Offering a comfortable seat for three, the sofa has been reupholstered in a soft silver grey velour, perfectly complementing the rich color of the dark blackwood arms and frame.
