Cervigón: luxury art déco in Galicia

Abstract

In mid-19th century,  the Cervigón family starts its business  career in the trade  and  processing  of  wood,  but  with  the  turn  of  the  century  the  new generations  gave  a  special  boost  to  the  manufacture  and  selling  of furniture, becoming   one   of   the   reference   names   of   this   sector   in   A  Coruña.   The International   Exhibition   of   Decorative   Arts   in   Paris,  1925   inspired their production  of  luxury  furniture,  which  constitutes  one  of  the  scarce examples  of Art Déco in Galicia and of which we will study a particular work.
