Patinated iron

A patinated iron jardinière by one of the most prominent architects and designers of the Art Nouveau style, especially renowned for his designs in this period of the elaborate entrances to the Paris Metro. With this marvelous piece, Guimard embodies the stylized, sinuous dynamism of nature using the tools and materials of an industrial age.
