The characteristic style of Art Deco has been echoed in many decorative forms and influenced additional post modern styles for decades. Born during the transition between the 19th and 20th centuries, when a desire for a more modern “look” evolved, the beginning of the Modern Art Movement was brought to fruition at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900. By 1913, the Art Deco Movement was in full swing as its designs were becoming a trend for fashion and decorative arts in both Europe and America; high fashion Art Deco style graced the covers of such magazines as VOGUE.  In general, the structure of Art Deco is based on geometric shapes; however, with many distinctive styles that include a range of motifs, designs are said to have been a reflection on the artistic politics of the day. An eclectic tone was an important feature.

Considered a expression of an affluent and extravagant style, Art Deco’s distinctive look was popular among the architects and interior designers that pulled from its rich and varied forms during the re-building that followed WWI in Europe. Significantly influencing design in America as well, during the opulent era known as the Roaring Twenties, Art Deco was the sought after style for architecture,fashion and interior décor.  In colors that represent the vibrancy of life during the height of the Art Deco Movement, The Empire Collection returns us to the splendid and lavish period when distinctive style ruled the decorative arts world.
