Despite the stock market crash of 1929, the 1930's represented a remarkable decade in the history of furniture design. Clean simple lines, geometric forms, with flat surfaces and straight lines combined with graceful curves are the dominant design elements. Inverted cavetto mouldings sit atop cases and flow downwards on subtly tapered feet, while drawers are inset and framed with a delicate cocked bead. The nickel hardware is functional, each piece indicates utility, attractive proportion, and subtle dignity to achieve a unity of design. This exciting collection of contemporary furniture is always in good taste and can make any home a penthouse on Park Avenue. less more
