Fins-de-Siècles is an antiques gallery owned by two Belgian experts Michèle Van Hove and Nicolas Vanderbeck which stocks furniture, decorative objects and lighting dating from the 30s, 40s and 50s of the last century. Its speciality is the 1930s Art Deco period, the decorative arts style which developed during the interwar era. Art Deco was a popular design movement which was in vogue from 1920 till 1939 in Europe and America (its influence was felt up until the 1950s in some countries) which had a great influence on architecture, interior design, graphic and industrial design as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, printing, sculpture and cinematography. It’s characterised by fluid lines, luxurious materials, precious woods, the frequent use of geometric motifs, high quality finishes as well as the search for a new functionality and rationalisation of modern life. Italian design from the 1950s is also well represented at Fins-de-Siècles. Stylish pieces sourced mainly from the owners’ travels through France, Belgium, Italy and France that represent the craftsmanship and elegance of that era together with a light-hearted sense of humour.
