Antique Art Nouveau Dining Room Table
Brussels is the capital city of Belgium and is also the capital city of the Art Nouveau world. It is impossible to count how many buildings had been built around 1900 in the Art Nouveau style. This style began in this town with the Tassel House by Horta in 1893. Art Nouveau has made itself know and present from 1880s to 1910s. This movement walked under the flag of an art that would break all connections to classical times, and bring down the barriers between the fine arts and applied arts. Art Nouveau was more than a mere style. It was a way of thinking about modern society and new production methods. It was an attempt to redefine the meaning and nature of the work of art. From that time on, it was the duty of art not to overlook any everyday object, no matter how utilitarian it might be. This approach was considered completely new and revolutionary, thus the New Art - Art Nouveau. In the realm of furniture, the Art Nouveau style showcased new features. The furniture featured organic plantlike forms, which were free flowing and beautiful. It often incorporated sensuous feminine lines. This incredible table is a magnificent example of this style! Made from solid oak, this charming table features many of the characteristics that make art nouveau furniture one of the most highly coveted treasures in all of Europe. The carvings on the skirt feature the sinewy feminine curves so popular to this style. The tapered legs with exaggerated feet and the beautiful tabletop are fabulous. This table would make the perfect addition to your breakfast nook or library. With clever extenders, this table is ready for extensions that will allow you to seat all your guests. You will absolutely love this piece! *Please note: the extensions will need to be fabricated, as only the extenders are present. m29oc129
