Fun Historical Fact During the 1930s and 1940s, French Art Deco furniture gradually moved away from the sharper geometry of the 1920s and embraced softer curves and decorative metalwork. Wrought iron became especially popular for occasional tables because craftsmen could shape it into expressive scrolls, floral forms, and elegant architectural patterns. Marble tops were often paired with iron bases to introduce natural color and luxurious contrast while providing a durable surface. This combination remained fashionable in fashionable homes, hotels, terraces, and garden rooms throughout the mid-20th century.
