Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau (called Jugendstil in German) was an art movement of the early 20th century. The culmination of a century shaped by Romanticism, Arts and Crafts pedagogy, and the rise of industrialism, Art Nouveau artists achieve slender organic shapes inspired by natural splendor, by using industrial practices to shape materials in new ways. A direct antecedent to the more famous Art Deco, Art Nouveau marked a major visual turning point in the history of interior decor. These pieces are among our most uniquely attractive.
