HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: What is the whiplash line in Art Nouveau? The decorative motif that has come to define much of Art Nouveau is the motion and line of the whiplash. An ornamental S-curve that writhes and coils, the whiplash is known as a symbol of the energy force that drove the Art Nouveau art world into a new Modern era.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an important integral part and extension of the description.
