Decorative Arts

The Decorative Arts department covers early late 19th and 20th-century decorative arts, including the Aesthetic Movement, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and the Arts and Crafts movement. From the innovative designs of the early 20th century to the organic forms of Art Nouveau, the bold glamour of Art Deco, and the craftsmanship-driven ethos of the Arts and Crafts Movement, each era brings a distinct aesthetic to auctions. These pieces, characterised by their unique styles and historical significance, offer collectors a chance to acquire unique items that capture the art and design of these influential periods. We handle every type of item from ceramics to glass, art, textiles and furniture.
