Topic

Title: Raw materials and Art Nouveau Subject:

The ideal of beauty and modernity that conduct Art Nouveau, associated with social concerns, a search of comfort and better hygiene, led the architects of that time to use a variety of construction materials and techniques. Wood, glass, ceramic, stone, metal and other specific materials are selected and combined together for their technical characteristics, but also according to their aesthetic input: color, iridescence, transparency, brightness, etc…

Many of these materials used in construction or finishing no longer exist or are rare, prohibited for commercial exploitation (exotic woods, ivory, etc.) or simply disappeared (specific marbles or woods, etc.). The restoration of the rare and delicate materials of Art Nouveau forced the restorers to face serious dilemma:

how to preserve the authenticity of this art without falling into the rough copy or fac simile?

1. What use was made of raw materials at this time?
