Carved Interior Woodwork, Musée de l'École de Nancy
A room in the Musée de l'École de Nancy with carved Art Nouveau woodwork, built-in seating and a stair, lit by tall windows.
Design characteristics
The museum occupies a villa in Nancy and presents rooms furnished by the city's Art Nouveau designers. This view shows carved woodwork wrapping a built-in seat and screen, with flowing lines and plant-inspired carving. Built-in seating framed by carved panels is a lovely idea for a hall or window bay, and it can be scaled from a single carved end panel to a full room.
