Art Deco & Art Nouveau

Important glass creations by makers such as Gallé, Daum and Tiffany; furniture by Suë et Mare and Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann; chryselephantine sculpt­ures by Demeter H. Chiparus: Koller’s auctions of Art Nouveau & Art Deco offer all of this and more. Works in glass, bronze, ivory, wood and metal, by creators from two of the most excit­ing periods in the history of the decorative arts are presented alongside our auctions of Design and Modern Art each June and December.
