This item is performed in the Art Deco – Post Modern style (ca. 1920 - 1940).

Even though Art Deco expressions appeared before the 1920´s it was at the 1925 international exhibition in Paris that this movement was officially presented. Inspired by Cubism the intensive use of geometric forms made Art Deco designs be far apart from the Art Nouveau.

The Art Deco period set the standard for the modern concept of Industrial Design which reaches up to our days. This new movement gave new ideas for interior design, leaving behind the reinterpretation of period designs.

Elegant proportions, exquisite detailing and ornament, the use of pure lines combining both concave and convex forms, superior craftsmanship and the use of exotic materials are common characteristics of this magnificent period in the development of art and design.

This product is supplied by Fersa, established in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1941 by Mr. Jules Samuel. Mr. Samuel was born in Belgium in 1901.
Mr. Samuel continued a long tradition of handcrafted decorative hardware made in France by establishing a factory in Buenos Aires, when imports from Europe were disrupted by World War II.
.

From the very beginning the company was devoted to developing new and innovative products, following the finest European designs and traditions. The quality of work is ensured by the skilled Italian and Spanish metal artisans who had migrated to Argentina since the beginning of the 20th century.
This history of excellence in both reproducing period hardware using ancient methods (sand cast foundry, metal chiseling and mercury gold plating), and developing new designs of superb quality, has allowed Fersa to hold the leading position within the Latin American decorative-hardware market, for over 60 years.

Through all these years Fersa has completed many ambitious commissions and served the most demanding clients in Argentina, including:

• US Ambassador´s Residence in Buenos Aires
• Palace of Justice
• Argentine National Congress
• Municipality
• National Bank
• Automovil Club Argentino

As in the old days, Fersa continues to create new designs as well as preserving its traditional period pieces. Fersa is constantly growing into the global market, reaching different countries with its original service-oriented philosophy.
Now, thanks to the power of the Internet, Fersa's products are accessible to all architects and interior designers searching for something special to offer to their clients, worldwide.

Fersa's fiercely maintained artistic heritage represents the poetry of creative power, combining comfort and the old world´s grand style.
