Tony Duquette (1914–1999) was an American artist and designer known for his work across interiors, furniture, costume, and set design. Active from the 1930s onward, he developed a distinctive style characterized by theatricality, opulence, and the inventive use of materials. Duquette created interiors for private clients and public spaces, as well as designs for film and stage, and remains associated with a maximalist approach that blends natural forms with elaborate decorative surfaces.
