Art Deco period bookcase from France. This piece is made of solid wood construction with a beautiful parquetry design to the front doors. It has been finished with a lustrous French polish of museum quality. There are three doors that open on the top half. Each of these upper doors has glass panels and opens to interior wood shelving with parquetry detailing in multiple tones of wood. The doors have working locks with a brass key. The bottom half has three doors that open to interior wood shelving, also with parquetry detailing. The lower doors have the parquetry design and all the doors showcase original brass hardware. The bottom doors have working keys as well. This piece is in excellent vintage condition – the photos accurately depict the condition.
Symbolizing a time of great change worldwide, Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, is often synonymous with bold, geometric architecture and luxurious, extravagant graphics as well as rich colors and decadent detail work. Ultimately, the Art Deco style is a pastiche of many styles, all coming together in a desire for modernism. Spanning from the beginning of World War I to the beginning of World War II, the style affected design, both commercial and independent, on a massive scale and continues to be seen in fashion, jewelry, and furniture today. There were many influences, from the geometric forms of Cubism, bright colors of Fauvism, the craftsmanship of Louis XVI, and the exotic influences of Asian and Egyptian art.
