Art Nouveau & Art Déco
Art Nouveau & Art Deco
Our teams are dedicated to showcasing and highlighting two major artistic movements from the 19th and 20th centuries that have deeply influenced the history of art and design. Through specialized auctions, we offer a selection of iconic works and objects, illustrating the refinement and creative boldness of these periods.
Art Nouveau, with its flowing lines, floral motifs, and nature-inspired designs, is represented by renowned artists such as Hector Guimard, Alphonse Mucha, and Émile Gallé, whose glass creations blend technical virtuosity with poetic expression. This movement, which rejects traditional forms in favor of an organic aesthetic, profoundly influenced furniture, architecture, and the decorative arts at the end of the 19th century.
As for Art Deco, which rose to prominence in the 1920s and 1930s, it is characterized by geometric lines, elegance, and the use of luxurious materials such as ebony and lacquer. This style, both modern and sophisticated, is embodied by artists like Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, René Lalique, Jean Dunand, and Tamara de Lempicka. Their works, ranging from furniture to jewelry, as well as sculptures and paintings, reflect the spirit of innovation and the elegance of the era.
Our Art Nouveau & Art Deco Department offers themed auctions where each piece is carefully selected. We cater to passionate collectors as well as enthusiasts seeking iconic objects that shaped the taste of their time and continue to inspire the contemporary design world.
Our team is available to offer free and confidential appraisals at any time, by appointment.
