Art deco nightstands are pieces of furniture for placing beside the bed. Designed and created in the 1920s, they are perfect for holding items such as lamps, books, water bottles, etc. These nightstands have distinctive design designs depicting the feel-good and carefree spirit of the 1920s.

Apart from the tabletop, these furniture pieces have shelves or drawers where you can keep items like books, newspapers, and magazines. So, when choosing one, it’s important to pay attention to the storage space they provide.

How to Identify Art Deco Nightstands

Antique nightstands can have been made in different eras using different styles. Some are only recent creations that imitate the best of past furniture epochs. To properly identify an art deco nightstand, look out for the following:

1. Exotic Woods

Wooden art deco nightstands are mostly made from exotic woods such as lemonwood, zebrawood and ebony. They, therefore, have an exquisite look that makes them fit virtually anywhere in the home. Of course, the wood type shouldn’t be your only consideration. Also, look at the other features before picking an art deco nightstand.

2. The Waterfall Design

One of the most distinctive designs of the art deco era is the waterfall design. Waterfall art deco nightstands have rounded drops at the edge of the horizontal surfaces, mimicking a flowing waterfall. This design was popular from the late 1930s to the early 1940s and was produced for the mass market.

While you might get some vintage art deco nightstands in the waterfall design, there are many modern reproductions you might want to consider. Of course, modern furniture might not be as valuable as decades-old pieces, but many are created to dazzle.

3. Lacquer and Marquetry

Some art deco nightstands may feature lacquer coats that make them stand out in any room. However, the lacquer was not as elaborate as that created in previous eras. Also, art deco furniture has natural marquetry features, including flowers, wreaths, etc. The marquetry was mostly carved from materials like ivory, ebony, satinwood, and boxwood.

What Are Art Deco Nightstands Good For?

Nightstands are good for holding items like books, newspapers, lamps, etc. Depending on the number and size of drawers, they can also hold many smaller items like jewelry, pens, etc. But art deco nightstands are also great for nothing but decoration.

Conclusion

Art deco nightstands are good to buy for more than just their functionality. You can use them to decorate your bedroom and any other space in your house. We have some of the best if you’re looking for nightstands to buy.
