<\/span>What is Art Deco Style Furniture?<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Art Deco is a diminutive for arts d\u00e9coratifs, was first used in 1858 in France, and the term was coined in 1966. Art Deco style is a movement in visual arts and architecture that originated in the 1920s and was called “le style moderne” or “Jazz Moderne” during its initial days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
