I finished a wrought iron Art Nouveau mirror frame today.
It's been a while since I had an order for anything in this style. It seems to go in and out of fashion quite a lot. Some years I make one Art Nouveau stairway railing after the other. I don't think I made any this year.
I love working in this style. My designs are mostly inspired by the Belgian architect Victor Horta. Even though there were quite a few important architects in the Art Nouveau movement, I think he is the one who incorporated a lot of wrought iron and took it to a whole new level.
So now the mirror frame and up next is a salon table for a Dutch client. I think she lives about 3 hours away. It's quite flattering I guess that she would order it from me, but then this is what we are known for.
She wants one based on this salon table I made a few years ago...
Guess this will keep me busy for the rest of the week.
