Art Nouveau design is characterised by organic motifs, flowing asymmetrical lines, and inspiration taken from natural forms such as plant stems and floral patterns, prevalent between 1890 and 1910.

Frames from this period are typically constructed from carved wood, gesso, and plaster, often finished with hand-applied paint, gilding, and decorative moulding details.

Authentic pieces often show signs of age on the mirror plate such as foxing or oxidation, hand-carved detailing rather than modern cast resin, and traditional joinery on the reverse of the frame.

Placing a historic piece against a neutral or minimally decorated wall allows the intricate craftsmanship to stand out as a focal point, creating a balanced contrast between old and new design elements.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid using chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners on painted or gilded surfaces to prevent stripping the historic finish.
