Fathers day is this weekend and I thought it fitting as a tribute to my Hungarian father to post about one of my favorite Hungarian furniture dealers,"
Szalon." I remember as a child my father talking about the beautiful art, buildings and furniture from Hungary and Vienna. I really couldn't appreciate it until my adulthood. My Dad, was born and raised on the border of Hungary and Vienna in a small town named Szentgotthard. He escaped at 16 during the revolution through Austria then to America and the rest was history! I had the chance to go back last summer and tour Vienna and Hungary and left with such great appreciation for the architecture, art, and furnishings. The trip lead me to research Hungarian and Austrian contribution to modern furniture. Both Hungary and Austria had a profound influence on Modernist and secessionist furniture that can still be easily used in today's modern and traditional settings. I found that Szalon Antiques has one of the best selections of Modernist Hungarian and Austrian furniture that I have seen. I hope you enjoy this little tribute to Hungarian craftsmen and hopefully you will leave appreciating these lovely pieces of antique Hungarian furniture as much as I do. Happy Father's Day!
Circa 1900 secessionist desk, love this one!
1920's Baroque, I see this as a wonderful bar cart substitute.
1930's Modernist/Hungarian really cool
1930's Modernist, I love the function of this table and the way it opens like a trunk!
I just love this, the clean lines and metal detail, can be used in any Eclectic interior.
1960s silver box!
Great art deco lines, but not too severe so that it can be mixed well with other furniture.
Just great! I love the finish, the X back and of course the upholstery.
The new Revival line by Szalon, this table is sharp!! Orbis Table.
Onyx cabinet part of the Revival series. Really stunning!
The Prism Cocktail table, leaves me speechless.
