Antique marks art nouveau gallery and excellent examples of the art nouveau style.


antique marks - art nouveau gallery - wmf tray

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.
