Aesthetic Movement Furniture
AESTHETIC MOVEMENT
In 1880, polymath designer William Morris declared: “If you want a golden rule that will fit everybody, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” His words encapsulated the Aesthetic Movement, which prized beauty above all and blurred the lines between fine art and the decorative arts, particularly through lavishly crafted furniture pieces.
The Aesthetic Movement, whose major proponents included author Oscar Wilde, flourished from the 1860s to the 1880s and was mostly popular in England and the United States. Design expositions like the 1876 Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia, as well as the publishing of how-to books for interior design, helped disseminate Aesthetic Movement bedroom furniture, serveware, coffee tables and other items, especially to the middle class.
The establishment of new art museums, art clubs and a rising passion for collecting at the time contributed to a growing appreciation for art. Morris’s founding of Morris & Co. in 1862 and the commercializing of this “cult of beauty” by the Liberty store in London, starting in the late 19th century, further disseminated the idea of a domestic space that was thoughtfully and floridly designed.
Leading Aesthetic Movement furniture designers included E.W. Godwin, who drew on Japanese influences and whose work reflected a wider enthusiasm for imported East Asian art. British designer Christopher Dresser created textiles, ceramics and more that were also inspired by Japanese decorative art but were representative of additional diverse design sources that ranged from Egypt to Mexico.
The Aesthetic Movement’s eclecticism resulted in dazzling interiors. Japanese fans were positioned on Renaissance-inspired cabinets with brass hardware, while mantels made of rich walnut or finely carved ebonized wood and adorned with painted Minton tiles mingled with cast-iron chairs against a backdrop of floral wallpaper. In 1881, in New York City, stenciled checkerboard motifs and painted floral murals could be found under an opalescent glass chandelier in a luxurious dressing room designed by German émigré cabinetmaker-decorator George Alfred Schastey. Amid the rise of the industrial age, the style’s promotion of art in everyday life would inform the Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Nouveau.

1950's Persian Tabriz Hunting Carpet with Modern Style
Located in Dallas, TX
77353 Vintage Persian Tabriz Rug, 11'00 x 15'03. In this resplendent hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Tabriz hunting rug, a mythic narrative unfolds across a regal composition of color, craftsmanship, and cultural symbolism. At the heart lies a scalloped medallion blooming with florals—lotus blossoms signifying rebirth, lilies whispering of purity, and rosettes circling like celestial constellations around a dark indigo center. This elaborate medallion anchors the visual rhythm of the piece, drawing the viewer into a timeless world where artistry and storytelling become one.
Surrounding the medallion is a magnificent rust-hued field alive with aristocratic riders astride galloping steeds, poised mid-hunt amid a garden of earthly delights. With arrows drawn and regal posture, these noble figures evoke a sense of valor and refinement from Persian courtly traditions. Deer leap and bound through the landscape, symbols of grace, gentleness, and fleeting beauty, while paradise birds perch delicately within the flora—emissaries of heaven and harbingers of spiritual bliss. Each animal is rendered with care, not as decoration alone, but as a living thread in the fabric of a storied garden.
Interwoven throughout the field is a verdant array of botanical motifs, each carrying its own symbolic weight. Hyacinths suggest regeneration, tulips prosperity, and peonies an echo of strength and power. Pomegranates, split open and brimming with seeds, embody fertility and life’s abundance, while delicate blossoms and curling vines meander like arabesque poetry across the terrain. Saz leaves and acanthus scrolls provide the baroque flourish of classical Persian garden design, transforming the field into a cultivated wilderness of movement and meaning.
The corner spandrels mirror the central field, with muted mint backdrops densely packed with flowering stems and gracefully leaping deer, extending the sense of harmony and echoing the symmetry prized in Persian aesthetics. These spaces act as serene interludes between the fervent energy of the hunt and the stately stillness of the border, softening the composition while enriching its narrative depth.
Encircling the entire scene is a radiant floral border set against a pale yellow backdrop, anchored wit eight-pointed rosette stars alternating with ornate palmettes and peony that serve as both spiritual and ornamental punctuation. Blooming tulips and stylized saz foliage arc and weave between arabesque scrolls, culminating in a final embrace of the inner tableau. This Tabriz hunting carpet...
