Art Deco Cabinets

Whether your taste is for the traditional or modern style of decor, Art Deco furniture, including Art Deco cabinets, can compliment any style of room. Or, if you are looking for that one special piece around which you will create the style of your room, the designs of the Art Deco period will offer you a wide choice of high quality and unusual pieces of furniture. One of the advantages of using an Art Deco piece is the flexibility it provides by being capable of fitting into a wide variety of decorating styles. For this reason, Art Deco furniture remains a very popular choice.

Art Deco Cabinets were often situated in a living or sitting room, filled with collectibles or knick-knacks and those treasures that one wanted all to see when entering the room. When one thinks of a cabinet, it is often quite predictable, being a wooden rectangle with shelves and doors inlaid with glass. Art Deco cabinets, on the other hand, have not only the typical linear cabinet style but include unusual designs in very contemporary shapes and sizes.

The style of Art Deco was often very flamboyant, and pieces were made to draw one's attention. Circles were a popular shape for Art Deco display cabinets, with shelving and glass doors. Also popular were Art Deco cabinets shaped like clouds, eggs or shields.

As with other Art Deco furniture, Art Deco cabinets, whether used as a display cabinet, bedside cabinet or cocktail cabinet, were made of the highest quality woods. Mahogany and walnut were probably the most popular wood used together with the use of veneers to create different patterns and colours. In addition, decorative pulls were attached to the drawers and doors and were often made of brass.
