Art Nouveau

We have a range of antique Art Nouveau fireplaces and reproduction fireplaces in storage and on display in our Manchester based showroom. Art Nouveau is a particular period in time in which an international design movement swept the world covering the years of the early 1880’s to 1914 (although most popular in the 1890’s to 1905). For the fireplace industry this was an exciting time, never before seen designs were created, new styles weren manufactured and previously outrageous ideas were now the fashion. A typical antique fireplace of this period is easily sorted from the proceeding Victorian and Georgian period fireplaces, these designs were very organic incorporating more floral and plant inspired motifs, as well as highly stylised flowing curvilinear forms. This Era in design history is such and important step and by many is classed as the ‘bridge’ between the historicism of Neo-classicalism and Modernism. Our cast iron antique fireplaces and antique fire surrounds are a tribute to this era in time; we have professionally restored them to such a standard as to compliment this revolutionary movement in design history, and we take great pride in displaying the work of these great designers in its truest form and offer you the chance to see for yourself.
