Art Nouveau Decorative Objects
ART NOUVEAU STYLE
In its sinuous lines and flamboyant curves inspired by the natural world, antique Art Nouveau furniture reflects a desire for freedom from the stuffy social and artistic strictures of the Victorian era. The Art Nouveau movement developed in the decorative arts in France and Britain in the early 1880s and quickly became a dominant aesthetic style in Western Europe and the United States.
ORIGINS OF ART NOUVEAU FURNITURE DESIGN
- Emerged during the late 19th century
- Popularity of this modernizing style declined in the early 20th century
- Originated in France and Britain but variants materialized elsewhere
- Informed by Rococo, Pre-Raphaelite art, Japanese art (and Japonisme), Arts and Crafts; influenced modernism, Bauhaus
CHARACTERISTICS OF ART NOUVEAU FURNITURE DESIGN
- Sinuous, organic and flowing lines
- Forms that mimic flowers and plant life
- Decorative inlays and ornate carvings of natural-world motifs such as insects and animals
- Use of hardwoods such as oak, mahogany and rosewood
ART NOUVEAU FURNITURE DESIGNERS TO KNOW
ANTIQUE ART NOUVEAU FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS
Art Nouveau — which spanned furniture, architecture, jewelry and graphic design — can be easily identified by its lush, flowing forms suggested by flowers and plants, as well as the lissome tendrils of sea life. Although Art Deco and Art Nouveau were both in the forefront of turn-of-the-20th-century design, they are very different styles — Art Deco is marked by bold, geometric shapes while Art Nouveau incorporates dreamlike, floral motifs. The latter’s signature motif is the "whiplash" curve — a deep, narrow, dynamic parabola that appears as an element in everything from chair arms to cabinetry and mirror frames.
The visual vocabulary of Art Nouveau was particularly influenced by the soft colors and abstract images of nature seen in Japanese art prints, which arrived in large numbers in the West after open trade was forced upon Japan in the 1860s. Impressionist artists were moved by the artistic tradition of Japanese woodblock printmaking, and Japonisme — a term used to describe the appetite for Japanese art and culture in Europe at the time — greatly informed Art Nouveau.
The Art Nouveau style quickly reached a wide audience in Europe via advertising posters, book covers, illustrations and other work by such artists as Aubrey Beardsley, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha. While all Art Nouveau designs share common formal elements, different countries and regions produced their own variants.
In Scotland, the architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh developed a singular, restrained look based on scale rather than ornament; a style best known from his narrow chairs with exceedingly tall backs, designed for Glasgow tea rooms. Meanwhile in France, Hector Guimard — whose iconic 1896 entry arches for the Paris Metro are still in use — and Louis Majorelle produced chairs, desks, bed frames and cabinets with sweeping lines and rich veneers.
The Art Nouveau movement was known as Jugendstil ("Youth Style") in Germany, and in Austria the designers of the Vienna Secession group — notably Koloman Moser, Josef Hoffmann and Joseph Maria Olbrich — produced a relatively austere iteration of the Art Nouveau style, which mixed curving and geometric elements.
Art Nouveau revitalized all of the applied arts. Ceramists such as Ernest Chaplet and Edmond Lachenal created new forms covered in novel and rediscovered glazes that produced thick, foam-like finishes. Bold vases, bowls and lighting designs in acid-etched and marquetry cameo glass by Émile Gallé and the Daum Freres appeared in France, while in New York the glass workshop-cum-laboratory of Louis Comfort Tiffany — the core of what eventually became a multimedia decorative-arts manufactory called Tiffany Studios — brought out buoyant pieces in opalescent favrile glass.
Jewelry design was revolutionized, as settings, for the first time, were emphasized as much as, or more than, gemstones. A favorite Art Nouveau jewelry motif was insects (think of Tiffany, in his famed Dragonflies glass lampshade).
Like a mayfly, Art Nouveau was short-lived. The sensuous, languorous style fell out of favor early in the 20th century, deemed perhaps too light and insubstantial for European tastes in the aftermath of World War I. But as the designs on 1stDibs demonstrate, Art Nouveau retains its power to fascinate and seduce.
There are ways to tastefully integrate a touch of Art Nouveau into even the most modern interior — browse an extraordinary collection of original antique Art Nouveau furniture on 1stDibs, which includes decorative objects, seating, tables, garden elements and more.

La Sémeuse
, Large Art Nouveau Bronze Figure After Oscar Roty, Vienna, Ca 1899
By Hans Schörk
Located in Vienna, AT
A young woman in a long dress with short sleeves, softly enveloping her body, with a scarf covering her hair and falling well over her face to protect her from the burning sun, walking across the field at a leisurely pace, holding out her apron with the seeds spread out in front of her with her left hand and making a sweeping gesture with her right.
On a narrow, elongated natural plinth with rounded corners, with the artist's signature ‘Schork 99’ incised on the side, as well as the Goldscheider manufactory's pressed stamp, pressed model number and incised monogram ‘AH’ on the back behind the figure.
This motif is particularly well known in France, where it adorned all French franc coins and postage stamps for many years and was continued in a stylised form on all cent coins of the euro after 2001.
Louis Oscar Roty (1846 - 1911) This sower is very familiar to the French: she was depicted on the fifty-centime coin and on the one-, two- and five-franc coins until 2001, when a stylised version of her appeared on the ten-, twenty- and fifty-centime coins of the euro. The figure dates back to 1887, when Roty designed a prize medal for the Ministry of Agriculture, a project that was not pursued. When the Minister of Finance commissioned new coins in 1896, Roty was among the selected artists. He drew on the Sower of 1887, but transformed his robust farmer into a slender Marianne, who wore the Phrygian cap of freedom. The traditional profile of the Republic was abandoned in favour of a more active, standing figure. This effigy was criticised, but generally very well received: ‘The seeds she generously throws into the earth are the countless ideas that may one day germinate and flourish when we are no longer here’ (La Liberté, 8 October 1898). The gesture is more symbolic than realistic – we do not sow against the wind, which nevertheless makes the hair behind the sower flutter – but it makes the composition more dynamic. Originally, ‘The Sower’ was used on the fifty-centime to two-franc coins introduced in 1897 and 1898, before appearing on postage stamps in 1903. It is thus the most widely circulated work of art in France. Although not included in the Musée d'Orsay's medal collection, this wax drawing on slate, typical of the technique of a medallist, is one of the most beautiful pieces and demonstrates the virtuosity of Roty. (Musée d'Orsay, The Collections)
