<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 12062652, member: 78949&quot;]Oh, even better! Yes, it&#039;s logical given the time-period (pre-WWI).</p><p><br /></p><p>But this is very interesting for me - I am not an expert in different artistic styles, but I have been interested in the origins (Belgian) of Art Nouveau style in architecture - Horta and Hankar, and Saintenoy, etc.. Recently I made a tour along Brussels to spot the existing preserved buildings and I am really impressed! Very beautiful, it is a shame that many of them were destroyed during the so called &quot;Brusselization&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my understanding, the Art Nouveau style is quite ornate and involves natural forms like leaves, flowers, stars/solar forms, etc. And this pendant is quite simple in its form (closer to my personal taste, although I admit the beauty of Art Nouveau), only the bail is somewhat ornated. I do not question your style identification, by no means! I am just curious how come that it is Art Nouveau. Maybe the German/Austrian version differs from the Belgian/French one. I will be very grateful to hear your thoughts on this, thank you in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
