VMFA Visit
Cabinet by Hector Guimard in 1899
Inspired by Nature
Originally planned to be even more elaborate
Part of an overall design of an interior, not a separate piece of furniture
Lines, swirls, & swoops give it movement
Reminds me of waves or vines
Handles are shells or leaves
Love mirrors!
What did the artist use it for?
Art supplies?
I'd use it for clothes & shoes :)
12' tall, very grand, wouldn't fit in average home
Furniture today is fast & cheap.
This looks like it would last forever.
High quality, solid
Not perfectly symmetrical - more unique & authentic
Autumn Leaves Diadem by Rene Lalique in 1900
Made of Horn, Gold, and Diamond
Looks so delicate, like leaves would crunch in your hand
