Shanghai Art Deco may not be a recognized furniture period term, but it is an unique group of furniture design that is a fusion of European Art Deco and traditional Chinese craftsmanship from the 1900's.. I have dealt with this group of furniture before but I saw them for the first time in situ at the famous Peninsula Hotel in Shanghai. The hotel is rebuilt but kept the art deco theme. Shanghai in the 1920's was hailed as the Paris of the East. Many of the western architecture on the famous Bund are restored to their original form and art deco aesthetics is the prevailing theme.
This little round stool is an example of Shanghai art deco furniture. It has detailing around the circular seat and elegant fluted legs tapered to ball feet. A cross stretcher with a circular medallion in the center holds the legs in place. A new coat of black lacquer restores the stool to its glory. It is refinished in a clever way that does not appear as a newly painted stool, and retains some of the vintage look.
