Art Nouveau Furniture
Art nouveau furniture is generally characterized by delicately
curving lines and floral motifs. This kind of furniture often has no
straight lines at all. Chair backs and table legs curve gracefully
outward, often intersecting with decorative
crosspieces. Upholstery fabrics are usually hard-wearing and
sumptuous, ranging from brocades and leather to linen
and velvet. Artists commonly achieve the intricate carving and
graceful curves in by using tropical hardwoods.
