Nancy 1900, antiques in the heart of the Art Nouveau city
A stone's throw from place Stanislas, Nancy 1900 is an antiques dealer specialising in Art Nouveau, Art Deco and the École de Nancy. Here you'll discover glassware, ceramics and works of art that carry on, in the flesh, the city's artistic golden age around 1900.
At the heart of Nancy's Art Nouveau
Nancy 1900 is woven into the city's very history. Around 1900, Nancy shone thanks to the École de Nancy and Art Nouveau, a movement carried by names such as Gallé, Daum and Majorelle. The shop is devoted to the decorative arts of the Belle Époque and Art Deco, with a strong regional Lorraine grounding. Visiting this antiques dealer is a concrete way to extend the discovery of the museums and Art Nouveau façades that made the city famous.
Exceptional glassware and ceramics
The shop's speciality is glassware by the great names: Daum, Gallé, but also Legras, Lalique, Baccarat and Saint-Louis. The ceramics section gives pride of place to regional production, with Mougin stoneware, pieces from Rambervillers or Keller & Guérin faience from Lunéville. Add to that sculptures, paintings and decorative objects. Every piece is unique and stock changes constantly: that's the whole joy of treasure-hunting, between curiosity and love at first sight.
Expertise at the service of enthusiasts
Beyond the pleasure of browsing, Nancy 1900 brings genuine expert know-how, useful whether you're a seasoned collector or simply curious. You can ask for details on the origin, period or techniques of the pieces on display, which makes the visit instructive. Even with no plan to buy, it's a fine chance to better understand Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Don't hesitate to strike up a conversation: enthusiasts gladly share the little stories behind each object.
