Art Deco
This style emerged in the 1920s and spread throughout Europe and America in the 1930s. Art Deco perfectly reflects this era, which admired machinery and modernism. This style shows influences from Classical Greek, Roman art, and Ancient Egypt. This decorative art has evolved into a style characterized by asymmetric lines, curves, and geometric shapes, and is still widely seen today.
Moderne
Influenced by Art Deco, this style is an American furniture style from the 1930s. Features include polished surfaces, curves that clash with straight lines, asymmetric forms, production processes adapted from industrial design, and modern materials. Skyscraper architecture is also one of the elements that influenced this era.
Baroque
Originating in Rome in the 17th century, this style was driven by exaggerated forms. Also seen as an extension of the Renaissance style, it presents a densely decorated aesthetic with large pieces. The Baroque style, which has no restrictions on size or shape, incorporates broad curves, intricate scrollwork, and wide moldings.
Gothic
This medieval style is based on European cathedrals. Curved, large, and wide furniture adorned with architectural motifs reflects this style. The Gothic style includes chests with decorative and wrought iron, large coffee tables, and symbols of status.
Victorian
This style is named after Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1838 to 1901, and was applied to American and English furniture.
Exaggerated curves, dimensions, intricate shapes, and abundant upholstery and carvings clearly reflect this style. Horsehair-filled cushions are also important elements.
Rococo
Considered more delicate and refined than Baroque, this 18th-century furniture style features rich wood carvings with delicate scrollwork and curved shapes.
Ottoman
Named after the Turkish influence of the early 18th century, this style incorporates upholstered chairs that are armless or backless.
