Art Nouveau silverwork
Art Nouveau silverwork is a decorative art style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by its organic forms and flowing lines. This style often incorporates motifs inspired by nature, such as flowers, leaves, and vines, creating a sense of harmony and movement in the design.
Craftsmen used techniques like repoussé and chasing to create intricate patterns and textures on silver objects, including jewelry, cutlery, and decorative pieces. Notable artisans, such as Louis Comfort Tiffany and Gustav Klimt, contributed to the popularity of this style, making it a significant part of the Art Nouveau movement.
