Eternal classic decoration with a foundation of art and antiques.
The original decoration of the early decades of the last century continues to arouse great interest among design enthusiasts. The reason for this interest is that the furniture of this era conveys sophistication and a safe bet among current decorative trends. The balance between antiquity and modernity is in vogue through a warm and cozy decoration with antique pieces, such as a 1950s bar cabinet, alabaster sconces, or the panels of a screen, and contemporary designs.
Where does classic decoration come from?
This decoration originated from the nobility in France in the 17th century. It was made with materials of exceptional quality and soon spread throughout Europe, becoming one of the dominant styles of the time. Over time, each country adapted it in its own way. While in France, interior design was based on spaces full of splendor and light, in England, classicism was characterized by rationalism and rigor.
Today, many people can opt for this decoration at a lower cost through direct platforms such as the Nuevas Galerías del Rastro in Madrid, as the keys to this decoration lie in having good raw materials.
