Titel: Jugendstil-Tischleuchte der extra Klasse - wunderschön!
Die hochwertige Ausführung der Messing-Tischleuchte mit echtem mundgeblasenen Glasschirm hat mich beim Auspacken des Pakets sofort in Verzückung versetzt. Ich bin begeistert über die Schönheit und Qualität meiner neuen "Jugendstil-Pilzleuchte Admiral, wobei der Lampenfuß mit geschwungenen Rosenornamenten besonders schmückt. Die Hochwertigkeit dieser Leuchte (aus reinem Messing) wird auch durch das Stromkabel aus braunem Textilstoff (statt der sonst üblichen Kunststoffleitungen) unterstrichen. Die Lieferzeit war zudem lobenswert kurz und das Produkt wurde besonders sorgfältig und bruchsicher (Karton im Umkarton) verpackt.
Alles sehr gut verpackt angekommen und 1A-Funktionsfähigkeit!! Sehr zufrieden!!
The term Art Nouveau, or the German term Jugendstil (lit.: "Youth Style"), is the art epoch between 1890-1910. The name originates from the Munich-based magazine "Jugend" (Youth), founded in 1896. It was the German counterpart of Art Nouveau (France), internationally known as Modern Style (England) or Secession (Austria).
Art Nouveau spread across Europe, resulting in innumerable works, ranging from painting and applied arts to architecture. One of the requirements of Art Nouveau was the artistic design of everyday objects, aiming to merge beauty with practicality. The desired unity of the artistic ability could only be achieved through individually influenced design, making Art Nouveau a precursor of modernism. The defining characteristic of Art Nouveau is its linear, often asymmetrical ornamentation. The models are particularly taken from nature and flora.
Major Art Nouveau centres were formed in Munich, Darmstadt, Brussels, Paris and Nancy (Glass Art by Emile Gallé). The Viennese architecture of that time was determined by Otto Wagner and J. Hoffmann. Gustav Klimt created paintings that gave sensual shape to the spirit of Art Nouveau.
