Description: | The 'Delightful Homes' catalogues from Oetzmann and Company were produced regularly and provide an interesting record of the changing styles in mass-market furnishings in the inter-war years.
Most of the furniture in this catalogue is described as being in the Jacobean or Queen Anne style. A legacy of the Arts and Crafts movement had been a medley of historical styles repurposed for the mass-market. This suited furniture manufacturers who simply made standard carcass shapes and applied different ornamentation or legs, to give the desired period style.
At the same time modernist furniture in lighter wood and simpler styles was beginning to appear at the upper end of the market. But traditional styles accounted for 90 % of the furniture market. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | MoDA | Rights holder: | MoDA, Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (Middlesex University) | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | 1920 - 1930 | Source: | Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
