Art Déco - Colorful Antiques

Art Déco originated in France after World War I as a reaction against contemporary industrial and practical ideals. 

The style is characterized by geometry, color, and a mixture of modern and classical. The furniture was meant to not only be practical, but also esthetically pleasing and emphasize the individual while still remaining decorative. Much of the inspiration was taken from the Orient, ancient Greece and Egypt.

The times following the First World War brought a great interest in new art and design influences, which contributed to the spread of Art Déco and its popularity.
