French Art Nouveau Ceramic “Chalmont” Planter by Hector Guimard

An ocean of sinuous, sweeping lines frozen in motion, this large-scale ceramic Art Nouveau planter by Hector Guimard (executed by Gilardoni et Brault, Choisy-le-Roi), demonstrates in an arresting array of earthen greenish and purplish hues, and is sensational from every angle. The planter is constructed of a central component with two flanking portions in slightly reduced proportions, unified by the complex constellation of swirling lines and undulating surfaces that adorn the entire composition.
