Art Nouveau Antique Architectural Earthenware Plaque with iridescent glaze
Circa 1890-1900, Nancy, France

Rare Figural Architectural plaque removed from a building in Nancy, France, the town where Art Nouveau was created.

This heavy and highly dimensional, sculptural plaque can be incorporated into a tile wall in an entryway, garden or indoor wall fountain, or even as a backsplash or decorative element in a kitchen or bathroom.

The sage green base color has a iridescent glaze that was created during this design movement.

Ceramics were a medium well suited to the Art Nouveau style, since the malleable nature of clay meant that it could easily be molded into the organic, curving and swirling lines of Art Nouveau designs.

This unique plaque offers an opportunity to recycle and preserve a piece of design history, as Art Nouveau was the first original design style of the 20th Century, and a pre-cursor to Art Deco, the first examples of modern design.
