Art Deco Bedroom Furniture

admin — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:48:32 +0000

Streamlines and geometric shapes are the basis for most Art Deco bedroom furniture. By utilising these forms, furniture makers were able to mass-produce these items for a market that was desperate for objects that looked beautiful, but also provided a high level of functionality. Art Deco bedroom sets are no different.

Art Deco bedroom furniture falls into two categories. The first category is made up of items that were hand crafted, produced in small numbers and available only to the very wealthy. These items used materials such as plush leathers, parchment, sharkskin, vellum and expensive, rare woods. The second category is filled with mass-produced items that used less expensive materials such as veneers and plastics.

Established furniture companies that featured designers such as Eileen Gray, Pierre Chareau, Pierre Legrain, Armand-Albert Rateau and Jean-Michel Frank designed the majority of the furniture produced during this era of art history in France. Many of the designers producing work for these companies were also architects who were involved in the process of designing many of the Art Deco buildings we are familiar with today.

Among the architects and designers creating Art Deco furniture were two standouts. Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect during the Art Deco period and many of his designs featured furniture that he designed as well. Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann was the other furniture designer who had a major impact during this period. His furniture designs are considered to be national treasures in France and are highly prized and sought after by both international museums and collectors.

Collectible bedroom furniture items often feature ornamental mirrors, bureaus, dressing tables, armoires and beds designed in various styles such as the “Waterfall” style. Items that were designed and crafted by individual designers hold the most value, but mass-produced items are becoming sought after as well.

Art Deco Paintings

admin — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 11:34:46 +0000

The Art Deco aesthetic made its way into paintings in a different manner than in other mediums. Initially, it was not necessarily defined into what we now call Art Deco, however, hints of it found their way to canvases, wood, paper and even glass as the movement progressed. Eventually, these suggestions of form developed into full representations of the Art Deco style.

Painting during the Art Deco period grew from the roots of Cubism and Constructivism and was based in the traditions of many of the Salons of the day. Much of the Art Deco painting style was also developed by illustrators working in the fashion industry and decorative arts. This led to a monumental blurring of the line between the so-called “fine arts” and “decorative arts”.

Many of the artists associated with Art Deco painting were born in Bordeaux, France. One of the most influential of the Bordeaux painters was the self-taught André Lohte. Lohte’s themes revolved around physical reality intertwined with his own spiritual beliefs. One of Lohte’s students, Tamara de Lempicka, went on to epitomise the Art Deco movement. Her work is defined by contrasting portraits and nudes against angular planes, skyscrapers and stylised flowers. Lempicka's work also exudes a highly charged eroticism and strong feminine sensuality.

Overall, Art Deco paintings were defined by highly stylized and volumetric feminine figures, dramatic shadows highlighting expression, angles, machines and anticipation of the future. Notably, Raphael Delorme’s Cléopatre, is a perfect example of this aesthetic.

As with most paintings that are defined by a particular period, Art Deco paintings are highly collectible with their values being derived from who the artist is and the condition of the painting. These paintings blur the line between fine art, poster art and graphic design and are treasured additions to any collection.

Art Deco Earrings

admin — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 11:28:41 +0000

The interwar years spanned by the Art Deco period produced highly collectible artifacts that retain and grow in their value with each passing moment. Jewellery, more specifically earrings, ear clips and ear pendants of this time period, is no different.

The jewellery houses of the 1920s embraced the Art Deco style more so than almost any other artistic medium of the period. Pure geometric shapes produced as a reaction to the fluid nature of the Art Nouveau period were the standard. Women, wearing their hair shorter than in previous times, preferred long, heavily articulated ear pendants. Due to the influence of René Lalique, they came to appreciate exquisitely wrought settings featuring colourful, inexpensive materials such as glass, coral, enamel, horn and ivory as opposed to diamonds and gold.

Precious stones, however, were utilised in many earring designs. When these stones were used, they featured the baguette cut, which complemented their highly geometrical, platinum settings. Other materials such as glass, onyx, enamel, amber resins and Bakelite were also used for creating earrings that were amazingly beautiful, but relatively economical. The entire reason for this was to create the look of wealth, yet adapt it to the requirements of fashion and affordability.

For the most part, earrings were made by the larger jewellery firms such as Boucheron, Cartier, Chaumet, Fouquet, Mauboussin, Melleria and Vever. There were exceptions to this in that individual artists such as Paul Brandt and Jean Dunand also contributed highly crafted, beautiful pieces.

Most of the earrings made during this time will bear discreet markings that show which jewellery firm or individual created them. Because of this, identification of these pieces of wearable art is generally a simple task. Vintage earrings in the Art Deco style are highly collectible and make attractive additions to any Art Deco collection.

Art Deco Brooch

Art Deco brooches often display the high levels of design and artistry that is a hallmark of the Art Deco movement. As with other mediums, the same repetitive geometric shapes and stylised figures, animal forms and plants are utilised in these pieces.

Brooches designed in the Art Deco style commonly use African motifs, Egyptian forms such as scarabs, starkly geometric, stylised flowers and nude figural shapes. These same shapes are among the most popular and desirable pieces today.

Many designers, such as Arno Malinowski, Georg Jensen, Evald Nielsen, Harald Nielsen, Theodor Fahrner, René Lalique, Henri Vever, Alfred Dunhill and the Fouquet Family, used stamps to identify their work as well as the standard of precious metals used in their brooches. Another element of identification is also through the use of reference numbers such as those used by Jensen.

Materials such as chrome, Bakelite, silver, platinum, precious stones, glass, rhinestones, enamel and semi-precious stones such as coral and marcasite, were essential in the mass production of Art Deco brooches.

From a collector’s standpoint, region is important. Knowledge that the majority of French Art Deco brooches were made in Paris is immensely significant. Original boxes that feature the designer or retailer add to the value of these pieces. For the most part, designs that were created in the flashy Hollywood style of Art Deco are less popular unless they hold some type of attachment to celebrity. In particular, demand is generally limited to Art Deco or jewellery collectors and the value of each piece often depends on attribution and current fashions.

Art Deco Glass

admin — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:31:28 +0000

Art Deco, originally known as Les Arts Décoratifs et Industriels, features streamlined geometrics, stylized figures and plant life. Art Glass from this period is highly representative of this style and many of the mass-produced flawless pieces are highly valuable to collectors.

During the Art Deco period, the engraved glass styles from the late 19th century were revived and restylised using new techniques. The development of new techniques is one of the features of Art Glass from this period. One of these, the “Graal” technique was developed by superimposing layers of colored glass that were etched or carved with relief patterns. Another technique that became very popular, due to the fact that it allowed for the mass production of Art Deco Glass, was pate-de-verre. Hot metal molds were also used for the mass production of Art Deco glass. This technique was utilised in every form of the art, from glass jewellery to architecture.

Art Deco glass was used in many ways, most notably lighting, perfume bottles, table glass and windows. While majority of the demand for the glass was in the vast U.S. market, most of it was produced in Europe. Steuben Glassworks founded by Edward Carder, which became the Art Glass division of Corning Glassworks, Daum Company in Nancy, France and the Orrefors Factory in Sweden were producers meeting this demand. Rounding out the mix were Cristalleries de Baccarat, Louis Vuitton, Lalique and Tiffany & Co. as well as a number of other smaller factories, many of which were located in France.

In Art Deco glass, rarity is not inherent to collectibility. For instance, René Lalique’s work has an avid following among collectors because of its availability, variety and high standards in design. The key factor in collecting Deco glass is if it is in perfect condition with no flaws.

Art Deco Silver

admin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:53:41 +0000

The Art Deco period was a time when artists and patrons alike looked toward the future for design inspiration. This glamorous style was full of optimism and excitement. Both freedom and exuberance were the themes of the era. Nothing displays this more than the items produced in silver during that time.

Nearly anything that could be cast, machined or engraved in silver could be created in the Art Deco style. Art Deco silver carries with it all of the same identifying features that other Art Deco works have: repetitive geometry, stunning curves combined with a futuristic look. As is almost always the case these aesthetics were paired with a high-level of functionality not generally found in other styles.

Though silver is a monochromatic material, colour was introduced by using precious and semi-precious stones or utilising other metals. Sapphires, rubies, opals and emeralds cut into interesting shapes and used abundantly, were common in silver jewellery. Silver tea sets, cutlery and tableware often featured engraved geometric patterns and architecturally inspired cast shapes as well as shapes inspired by the animal kingdom. The greyhound is one example of this. Considered the epitome of angularity and sleekness in the animal form, the greyhound was a favourite model for many artists.

Artists such as Henry George Murphy and Louis Kuppenheim were highly regarded by the general public for their modernist use of silver in their designs. This aesthetic gave free reign to both craftsmen and artists alike to explore the ideas of a more streamlined and futuristic look.

As with other mediums of the Art Deco period, silver pieces are entrancing and highly prized by collectors for their value and beauty. The bold and futuristic look of Art Deco sliver is a perfect complement to any collection of items from this fascinating art movement.

If, like many people, you enjoy the flexibility of the Art Deco movement for use in modern interior design, but aren’t necessarily interested in collecting an assortment of Art Deco pieces; wallpaper designed in the Art Deco style by modern designers may be just what you seek to put the final touches on a newly renovated room.

The Art Deco movement has always lent itself well to interior spaces. Beautiful designs with flowing arcs and highly geometric patterns fit perfectly within nearly any designed space. Reproduction Art Deco style wallpaper is no different. Chevrons, sunbursts and zigzag designs set within dramatic colour palettes can add a distinctive character to any room and utilising matching or contrasting patterns can pull a room or set of rooms together and give them consistency throughout your home or office.

Art Deco design is currently enjoying a revival and some of the leading design houses such as Villa Roma, Designers Guild, Mulberry Drive, Bradbury & Bradbury and Karen L. Benson and Associates are riding the wave of requests for modern reproductions of classic Art Deco motifs. Many of the designers for these companies look to the Art Deco time period for their inspiration in much of their design work, so it comes as no surprise that this would spill over into the current Art Deco design trends.

Lasting beauty is a key to a great style and Art Deco has been a venerable partner for many modern designers. Whether you seek a streamlined and sleek look for your home or a bolder look with embossed black fabric chevrons repeating over a field of red; wallpapers created in the Art Deco style will easily fit the bill.

Art Deco Vase

admin — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 12:00:28 +0000

Art Deco vases owe their lineage to 19th century glass blowers who experimented with new methods of creating textures, colours and patterns. This gave birth to the techniques involved in creating art glass, which was an integral part of the Art Deco movement. Collectible Art Deco vases are steeped in the rich glass blowing and art glass traditions.

Characterised by pastel colours, geometric patterns and techniques involving acid etching, Art Deco vases became a mainstay in the arsenals of companies such as Lalique, Daum and Tiffany. Daum was a leader in the creation of Art Deco vases. The vases produced in the 1920s by Daum were embodied by geometric forms, thick, transparent glass and earthy colours such as topaz, ambers and blues. Over time, designs began featuring more monochromatic themes with contrast created using beiges, whites, light yellows and icy blues.

Collectible pieces feature patterns that were acid-etched and hand cut, stylized illustrations and rhythmic geometric forms. Overall, the level of quality and craftsmanship are stunning and make them highly valuable. Pair this with the fact that many pieces are signed by the artists, either by acid etching or hand etching and their value to collectors rises even more.

Vases that feature the Art Deco style are some of the most unique available on the market. As with all Art Deco pieces, their value is inherent in the individuality of the piece and the artist who created it. As the collectibility of work from the Art Deco time period rises in its popularity, these vases will increase in value and provide many years of enjoyment for anyone who adds them to their own collection.

Art Deco Rings

admin — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 11:40:08 +0000

Fine art is generally is not something that is worn. In fact, most fine art sits pristine in museums, on walls or in safe deposit boxes. There is an exception to the rule, though. Art Deco rings are highly valued and collectible, but in many cases beg to be worn by whoever is lucky enough to own them.

Today, those who are searching for a unique way to express their love have been turning more and more toward this extravagant time period in the history of Art. Art Deco engagement rings are experiencing a newly found popularity among those who wish to express their matrimonial intentions in an unusual manner. In general, these rings employ contrasting colours and stones and are rarely solitaires. They are also larger than the standard engagement rings available today.

Art Deco rings employ a variety of materials including yellow and white gold. The most popular metal used in Art Deco rings was platinum. At the time, it was a very new material in the manufacture of jewellery and its white shimmer provided a perfect contrast to the colours of the stones that were used. Overall, the design of the ring was more important than the actual monetary value of the ring and with the advent of the Great Depression, bright colours and geometric forms became even more significant.

Art Deco rings are the epitome of elegance and sophistication and are also highly collectible. Rarity and beauty, as well as construction from precious metals and stones also create tangible and lasting value in these pieces of jewellery. Regardless of whether you are in the market for an engagement ring or are looking for just the right wearable objet d’art, Art Deco rings can be an excellent addition to any collection.

Art Deco Figures

admin — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 07:56:14 +0000

Epitomised by graceful arcs and geometric shapes, the Art Deco movement has continued to be one of the most recognisable and popular forms of art from the 20th century. With its emphasis on geometry, line-quality and colour, it is surprising that a substantial figural movement grew from this art form. Also surprising are the large number of Art Deco figurines that are available on the market today and that in some cases, they hold substantial value for the serious collector.

Art Deco figurines were some of the first ceramic items that were mass-produced. However, in many cases, the poor quality of these mass-produced figures, limited their value. Figures that are found today can easily be identified as Art Deco by their themes and materials. While any medium could have been used for these figures, the most common were stoneware, ivory, bronze and gold. Many were created using a technique called chryselephantine, which is simply the use of carved pieces of ivory and sheets of gold leaf.

For the most part, Art Deco figures are generally representations of women in various dance poses. Historically, these different poses give one an idea of what the Art Deco time period represented to women; the idea of freedom, jubilation and exuberance of life.

Finding high-quality, collectible Art Deco figurines can be a tough task. Original figurines created for casting in the Goldscheider ceramics factory, hold the highest value for collectors. In the 1930s, Goldscheider garnered the largest part of the market for the production of these figurines. For the collector, the most important pieces are the originals that were used for creating the casting molds. In most cases, these figures are signed by both the artist and the potter. This alone is reason enough for the high value that these figures retain over time.
