[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10304259, member: 2844"]I used to live in The Hague, in the coastal province of South Holland. A town full of history, including architecture dating back to the Middle Ages. But when I lived there I found the most striking buildings were Art Nouveau, and beautiful Art Nouveau tile tableaus. I thought I'd share two my favourite The Hague Art Nouveau designs. First, the former blacksmith's showroom, address Denneweg 56. The Denneweg is known for its antique shops, so I spent a lot of my time there.;) As you can see, the facade is entirely made of cast and wrought iron and glass. It was built in the coronation year 1898 (Queen Wilhelmina), which is included just below the crown: [ATTACH=full]517444[/ATTACH] Second, the cat letterbox of "Huis van Lorrie", on one of the canals. Mr Lorrie was an architect. He designed his own house in a mix of Gothic Revival and Art Nouveau, and included the beloved family cat in the design of the letter box. The cat's nose is the bell you ring if you deliver parcels:playful:: [ATTACH=full]517446[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
