Muses of Art Deco: Cats

31 July 2025 14:00
The domestic cat, which originated from the Egyptian wild cat, has always been popular with Art Deco artists. Exotic influences played a major role in the 1920s and 1930s. The cat is one of the oldest domestic animals known to man. Thanks to their mysterious nature, cats and kittens never get boring. They can be as playful as they are lazy. These unique animals are well represented at Art Deco Webstore.

Fiery sculptures

Eagerly tucking into food and purring with pleasure or elegant and stately: Which type of cat appeals to you most? There are sculptures that make beautiful gifts for all kinds of occasions. Think of a baby shower gift, a gift for someone who has just graduated, or simply a gift for a cat lover to emphasise your friendship. Sculpture Loving Is Sharing is absolutely adorable, and Bronze sculpture Feline is not a cat to be handled without gloves. Each and every one of these sculptures is a beautiful addition to any interior.

   

Funny gifts

Art Deco Webstore has a fun collection of items featuring cats. Take a look at the set of two tea light holders, for example. A lovely gift for cat lovers. Decorative, but also very handy, is a paperweight. A stylish solution to prevent papers from blowing away. And for those who want to save for a good cause, a cheerful piggy bank is a useful gift.

  

World famous black cat

In 1896, Swiss painter and illustrator Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859–1923) created a world-famous illustration: “Le Chat Noir”. Who doesn't know the famous poster for the legendary cabaret on the Parisian hill of Montmartre?

The establishment owes its name to a cat that the owner found on the street. 

Within a few years, Le Chat Noir became a popular meeting place for writers, artists and cabaret performers. Other European cities followed suit and opened establishments with the same name.

Don't wait around, order that special gift now. Whether it's for a loved one or for yourself. Be surprised by beautiful, stylised art deco cats!
