Know-How It All Began...
It began in Paris in the 1920s.
Some of the most collection of furniture today was crafted by the first Art Deco interior designers, who were inspired by the 18th and 19th-century cabinet makers of Paris.
These elegant items of fine craftsmanship were first noticed at the 1925 Paris "Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes" by which Art Deco got its name.
These makers included popular names as Paul Follot, Jacques Emile Ruhlmann, and the Sue et Mare partnership.
