The style was rejuvenated after the first world was but was soon to fall to the wayside as modernist and deco designs surged in popularity. I have been involved in the antiques business since 1971. My career took a leap forward when I joined Bonhams in 1976. Some five years later I became head of the Decorative Arts department.
