Art Nouveau Sterling Silver

About Antique Art Nouveau Sterling Silver

Art Nouveau sterling, like most items of the period, is distinguished by asymmetrical organic patterns, as well as motifs of neoclassical women, dragonflies, and floral designs. Much of the sterling from this era is repousse, meaning that the patterns were made by raising the metal from the back side of the piece.

Besides tableware, sterling was popular for brush handles, cigarette cases, jewelry, and match holders. Look for maker's marks and hallmarks, as Art Nouveau patterns were popular with silversmiths long after the era itself ended.
