Art Nouveau Set of Six Chairs in Solid Oak. Vienna, c. 1910.

About the Item

Hello, These exceptional set of six Viennese Art Nouveau solid oak chairs from circa 1910 represent a high level of craftsmanship and elegant design. Viennese Art Nouveau is a trend in Austrian art, architecture and design at the turn of the 20th century. The name was taken from the association formed by a group of artists who protested against the rejection of their work by the Vienna Academy. Gustav Klimt, Otto Wagner, Josef Hoffmann and other artists decided to completely break with the prevailing historicism and promote a new style in art, architecture, and interior design. Art Nouveau focused on simplicity, which foreshadowed modern 20th century design. The elaborate decorations emphasized the close relationship between crafts and Fine arts. Ornamentation (carvings, paintings, marquetry) referred to the world of nature - plants, birds' feathers, insects' wings. Embossed leather with lovely floral elements blends beautifully with the elegant form of the chairs. In the field of ornamentation plant and animal elements were the most important, but not the only set of motifs typical of Art Nouveau in furniture making. They were accompanied by geometric and abstract motifs, and although Art Nouveau is associated with ornamentation, some Art Nouveau furniture is rather simple in form, using shape and line rather than decoration. Compared to other trends of this style, the Vienna Secession was devoid of splendor and rich decoration. It was characterized by sublime simplicity and attention to detail, which paved the way for modern design. Artists creating in the style of Vienna Secession preferred geometric and floral ornaments. Even when using organic motifs, they tended to keep them geometric. Buildings designed in the spirit of the Viennese Art Nouveau often have elegant floral decorations which resemble these beautiful chairs. The chairs are in good condition. They are also comfortable.
