Antique Art Nouveau Dining Room Chairs
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. These wonderful chairs feature many of the features that make Art Nouveau furniture one of the most highly sought after styles in all of Europe.

The crown of the frame is curved in what is known as the Belgian line, the signature feature of much art nouveau furnishings.
