The Art Nouveau Movement went hand in hand with the Arts and Crafts Movement. People, especially artists and intellectuals, turned away from massed produced furniture, and put more value on hand crafted products. Naturally handcrafted wicker furniture fit very nicely into that concept, and was very popular at that time. You can find lovely miniature dollhouse wicker furniture at

Art Nouveau (1880 to 1910)

The Arts and Crafts Movement
University of Victoria

Maltwood Art Museum

In England and then America in the late 19th century, a middle class revolution occurred against Victorian values, industrialization and the mass production of low-quality products. Originally a British movement whose roots can be traced back to the early 1800's, the social and moral preachings of people such as John Ruskin and William Morris in the late 1800's influenced the burgeoning what would be known as the Arts and Crafts Movement.

The philosophy behind the Arts and Crafts Movement was recognition that technology, or industrialization, did not equate to a higher quality of life for individuals. The Arts and Crafts Movement believed that the degradation of social values, which was evident through poor working conditions, poverty and the exploitation of workers, was caused by wide-spread industrialization .

By 1880, the Arts and Crafts Movement became the symbol for the "liberal middle class". The movement strove to make art affordable to all people, create better working conditions, and influence a climate where artists who ranged from architects to those involved in the fine arts, were free to be creative.

In the new society which the Arts and Crafts Movement hoped to influence, artists could design and create each piece of work from start to finish. Pieces would be hand-made and of the best quality.

Ironically, by the end of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the first quarter of the 20th century, the products of the movement became so expensive that only the wealthy could afford them.

Get the Look
From www.bbc.co.uk/homes

Get the look is meant for real size houses. The same rules apply to dollhouse rooms though, so I have included it here.

Floors - are parquet and should be stained and varnished. Colour schemes - are quite muted and sombre and became known as 'greenery yallery' - mustard, sage green, olive green, and brown. Team these with lilac, violet and purple, peacock blue. Mackintosh experimented with all-white interiors.

Walls - can either be painted in one of the colours of the palette or off-white, or papered.

Wallpaper - designs are highly stylised flowers, particularly poppies, water lilies and wisteria; branches, tendrils, leaves, stems, thistles, pomegranates; peacock feathers, birds and dragonflies.

Style -sinuous, elongated, curvy lines the whiplash line vertical lines and height stylised flowers, leaves, roots, buds and seedpods the female form - in a pre-Raphaelite pose with long, flowing hair exotic woods, marquetry, iridescent glass, silver and semi-precious stones

Influences
arts and crafts - art nouveau shared the same belief in quality goods and fine craftsmanship but was happy with mass production rococo style botanical research

How to make sofas and chairs from cardboard and fabric

William Morris was one of the most influential voices in Victorian art and architecture, and his influence spread far into the 20th century in the form of the Arts and Crafts Movement that he helped spawn. There was a profound social philosophy behind Morris' designing. He was a committed socialist and medievalist who was horrified by increasing mechanization and mass-production in the arts, and he dreamed of reestablishing the values of traditional craftsmanship and simplicity of design. His slogan was that art should be "by the people, for the people"

Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857 - 1941)

Charles Francis Annesley Voysey was an English architect, designer and typographer. He articled with architects J.P.Seddon and George Devey, and then opened an office of his own in 1882, concentrating on wallpaper and fabric designs rather than architecture. He designed his first house in 1888, and in 1900 built his own home "The Orchard" designing much of the furniture, decoration and fittings. His characteristic simple architectural style was highly influential, and was copied widely. In all he designed around 150 houses, and designed decorative arts products, including wallpaper, textiles and carpets for a variety of British firms.
