Art Nouveau Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass

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

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.

Pair of KPM Porcelain Plaques Franz Wagner Signed Sceptre Mark 19th Century
Located in Newark, England
Featuring Two Females In Period Dress From our Ceramics collection, we are delighted to offer two KPM Porcelain Plaques by Franz Wagner sold as a pair. The KPM Porcelain Plaques fitted within their original gilt wood frames with scrolling borders both signed to the base of the frame F. Wagner each featuring a portrait of a female, the first plaque is a portrait of Charlotte, Lady Milnes after the British 18th century painter George Romney currently held in the Frick Collection, Manhattan, New York. The second plaque features the lute player after German 19th century historical portrait painter Friedrich August von Kaulbach. The Lady Milnes plaque is visibly signed to the lower right corner “Wagner” which is partially hidden by the frame, the second frame does not have a visible signature and is possibly hidden within the frame or very faint. Each of the plaques bear original provenance to the rear and are held within their original frames stating they were purchased in 1959 at £75 for the pair and were owned in a collection in Jersey along with collection numbers. Both plaques are firmly attributed to KPM and are well known plaques by the company under Wagners hand, we have not removed the original framing to confirm the mark and therefore are attributing them only. The KPM Porcelain Plaques date to the second half of the 19th century Circa 1890. KPM (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur – The Royal Porcelain Factory) in Berlin was founded in 1763 Frederick the Great (King Frederick II). Its actual origins, however, lie in three private enterprises which, under crown patronage, were trying to establish the production of “white gold” (porcelain) in Berlin from the mid-18th century onwards.The company logo is a sceptre, which is stamped (painted prior to 1837) or incised on every piece. All painted pieces produced by KPM are also signed by the painter. KPM is still producing porcelain today. Franz Wagner was from a famous family of painters working from Starhemberggasse in Vienna, Austria in the late nineteenth century. F. Wagner became known for his exceptional quality reproductions of historic old masters on porcelain for Vienna and KPM (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur). There is little information regarding his career but he was a known painter for Vienna and KPM active in the late 19th century to the early 20th century. George Romney (1734-1802) was born in Beckside, Dalton-in-Furness, Lancashire (now part of Cumbria), to John Romney a cabinet maker and Anne Simpson. Raised in a cottage named High Cocken in modern-day Barrow-in-Furness, he was sent to school at nearby Dendron until he was withdrawn at the age of 11 to apprentice under his father’s business. He proved to have a natural ability for drawing and making things from wood including violins (which he played throughout his life). From the age of 15 Romney was informally taught art by a local watchmaker called John Williamson. His official studies began in earnest in 1755, when he went to Kendal, at the age of 21, for a 4-year apprenticeship with local artist Christopher Steele, who had himself studied with distinguished French artist Carlo Vanloo. In October 1756, Romney married Mary Abbot...
