Art Nouveau Cornice
Art Nouveau was an artistic style that peaked from 1890 to 1905. It is characterised by extensive use of floral motifs and sought to bring art into all areas of life. So Art Nouveau designers were architects, interior decorators, artists, sculptures and furniture designers.
The cornices below were created during the Art Nouveau era and show elements of the under lying concepts of that design school.

This cornice is quite large and is a classic example of Art Nouveau design. Its use of stylised flowers and entwined design make it one of the most "obvious" Art Nouveau cornices available.
It is a big cornice and requires a ceiling height of at least 3 metres.
