What year was Art Deco furniture popular?

Art Deco furniture was most popular from about 1920 to 1940, with its peak in the years right after the 1925 Paris Exposition and on through the 1930s. The movement gathered force in early-1920s France, drew energy from the 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, and spread worldwide as both bespoke luxury and, later, affordable mass-produced pieces. Its commercial run slowed as the Second World War redirected materials and taste toward plainer postwar modernism. That was never the end of it, though. Art Deco has returned in strong waves ever since, through the 1960s and 1980s and into the present appetite for glamour, geometry, and moody, material-rich rooms. Its original two decades gave the style its vocabulary, but its staying power is the more interesting fact: few furniture styles from a century ago still look this current.

That longevity is exactly why AURA keeps art deco style furniture in the collection, interpreted for the way people live now rather than staged as a period set.
