Art Nouveau Gallery
Your Guide to Collecting Art Nouveau Antiques and the Art Nouveau Style.
The Art Nouveau Gallery and excellent examples of the art nouveau style.
An art nouveau gallery giving you a brief look at the exceptional quality and superb design available to the art nouveau collector.
The art nouveau designers rejected the inspiration of classical european art and instead looked to Japanese, Celtic and other folk art as a basis for their work.
This can be seen in works by artists such as Gustav Klimt. Typical motifs come from nature: flowers, insects and birds. Lines curve and wind, straight lines were scorned by art nouveau designers.
Amphora
An ivory porcelain vase from the portrait series Allegory of Russia, designed by Nikolaus Kannhauser for Amphora ( circa 1894-95; decoration 1899-1900).
The tri-lobed body has gilt raised edges and an everted lip.
The decoration consists of a frontal portrait of a Russian princess, her head with gold halo. The opposing sides feature painted forest scenes and stylised roses, outlined with gold threading
