Collection: Art Nouveau & Art Deco
Art Nouveau (1890–1910) provided organic, flowing styles inspired by nature, featuring curving lines, floral motifs, and intricate patterns. In art and textiles, it embraced hand-crafted designs with soft, sinuous forms, often incorporating stylized flowers, vines, and feminine figures. Artists such as Alphonse Mucha and designers such as Louis Comfort Tiffany popularized this elegant, nature-inspired aesthetic.
Art Deco (1920s–1930s) was a bold, geometric style that embraced modernity, luxury, and streamlined design. In art and textiles, it featured sharp angles, symmetrical patterns, metallic accents, and rich colors, often incorporating exotic influences from Egypt, Africa, and Asia. Designers such as Érte and René Lalique brought sleek sophistication to their creations with stylized motifs reflecting the era’s fascination with speed, glamour, and progress.
