About the Item

Large Art Nouveau Art Deco jardiniere (planter) by Kayserzinn, circa 1905. Designed by Hugo Leven, one of the most prominent designer of the German Jugendstil era. 9.45 in. H x 15.75 in. W x 8.66 in. D 24 cm H x 40 cm W x 22 cm D. His designs are unmistakable, similar to a single piece of clay out of which very elegant pieces were hand-sculpted. The curves, indentations and handle are almost Gaudi-esque, as the shape seems a conjunction of a caterpillar with a plant, showing swirling raised lines of stylised flowers on the side and tripod alike feet out of which the handles seen to be extended from, a typical signature of this designer. Four knobby feet elevate the object. Fantastic in shape and execution, this basket-shaped object can serve a variety of purposes. Its initial massive impression soon gives way to its delicate and unique form. Standing alone it is a work of art unto itself. Yet it may be used as a container for a flower arrangement or even as a bread basket. Imarked to the base in an oval cartouche design number 4529. Part of the permanent collection of the Art Nouveau Bro¨han museum in Berlin. Art Nouveau is French for new art. The term was originally used in various articles published throughout 1884-1890 in the Belgian avant-garde publication Art Moderne. The term was familiarised in France by the opening of a furnishing and novelty shop in Paris in 1895 by the dealer Siegfried Bing, named Maison Art Nouveau, which displayed furniture and new designs for interiors such as glassware by Tiffany and Emile Galle´, and exotic imported goods. Known also in Europe as Jugendstil or ‘youth style,’ the art form began in the 1880s as a result of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which rejected the mass-produced techniques of industrialization. Art Nouveau developed a new style of exuberant curving lines, asymmetrical design and elements of fantasy. It took on a wealth of different and at times conflicting orientations, spreading to varying degrees to a number of major European cities, such as Brussels, Glasgow, Munich, Nancy, Barcelona and Vienna.
