This delicate tea table combines Victorian ingenuity with intricate Art Nouveau artistry. Crafted of the finest mahogany, this charming table boasts a bold, inlaid design of tulips, executed in a natural yet stylized motif, on its surface. As practical as it is appealing, the top can be used as a tea tray. Complete with brass handles, the top is easily lifted from the base, taking elegant service to any location.
Art Nouveau is instantly recognizable for its fluid and organic motifs, with curvilinear lines reflecting the asymmetrical patterns and objects found in nature. An avant-garde style that emerged in the early 1880s, the movement grew from a love of natural forms and Eastern art, as well as a rejection of the increasing use of machinery in furniture-building. Though most are familiar with the movement because of the exceptional jewelry and glass designed by makers such as Louis Comfort Tiffany and in the advertising posters created by artists like Alphonse Mucha, Art Nouveau influenced every kind of domestic art, including furnishings, decorative art and architecture.
