Step into The Age of Design, a thoughtfully curated sale celebrating the enduring influence of the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau and Art Deco – three defining styles that shaped the decorative arts at the turn of the 20th century.This collection brings together pieces that reflect a shared commitment to craftsmanship, beauty and innovation. The organic forms and flowing lines of Art Nouveau are particularly well represented, from a striking cast iron fireplace with sinuous foliate detail to a large Aesthetic Movement stained glass panel պատկերing birds amongst reeds and water. These sit alongside elegant glasswork, including a René Lalique Ceylan opalescent vase, a design that perfectly captures the refined sophistication of the Art Deco period.The Arts and Crafts tradition is equally prominent, with an emphasis on natural materials and hand-crafted detail. A Liberty & Co hammered copper mirror set with Ruskin cabochons exemplifies the movement’s fusion of artistry and function, while Shapland and Petter furniture and carved oak pieces highlight the quality and integrity of British workshop production. Decorative objects such as a David Veasey pewter loving cup and a Royal Lancastrian lustre vase further demonstrate the movement’s rich variety of form and surface.Completing the sale are later interpretations and revivals, including Mackintosh-style furniture and the bold, colourful designs of Clarice Cliff, which echo and reinterpret earlier ideas for a modern audience.Uniting these pieces is a focus on design-led craftsmanship and a celebration of material, form and decorative innovation. Whether collecting across periods or seeking a statement piece, this sale offers a distinctive opportunity to engage with some of the most influential design movements of the modern era.
