Elegant and distinctive, these eye-catching motifs combine a refined naturalism with the sophistication of Art Nouveau. Created during the early years of the Art Nouveau movement, they reflect the late nineteenth century interest in Japanese art, as well as the fresh excitement of a blossoming style that's remained fashionable for well over a century. Sixty-six full-color plates (many heightened with gold) feature luxurious patterns and ornaments designed for ceramics, furniture, textiles, walls, and ceilings. Superbly reproduced from a rare folio, these decorations were formerly available only in high-priced antiquarian editions.
