#9465. Art Nouveau Tile: Fan Flower for Decorative Façade Ornamentation

Before us is an exquisite example of an Art Nouveau ceramic tile, showcasing the characteristic floral motifs of this artistic movement. The composition features a stylized flower with a fan-shaped blue top, reminiscent of a peacock's tail or an unfurled fan, and elegant green leaves at the bottom.

What gives this decorative element special value is the fluidity of lines typical of Art Nouveau and the asymmetrical yet balanced composition. The color palette—deep blue, vibrant green, and burgundy accents—creates a harmonious combination characteristic of the Art Nouveau period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Such tiles were often used in the decoration of Art Nouveau building façades, adorning portals, spaces between windows, and cornices. In modern façade design for private homes, such decorative elements can be used as accent details near entrance groups, for framing window openings, or as a decorative frieze. They bring a note of refined aesthetics and historical depth to the architectural appearance of a building.
