  • Art Deco Sideboard Attributed to Eliel Saarinen
    By Eliel Saarinen
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    Rare sideboard attributed to Eliel Saarinen (father of Eero Saarinen) designed before his immigration to the United States. In a style that we now refer to as "Art Deco," this style was considered the "National Romantic Style" in Finland essentially a twist on what became known worldwide as Art Deco with its strong vertical lines and medieval references.
