Romanticism Inspired Antiques & Decorative Objects
Romanticism emphasised emotion, imagination and the beauty of nature and history. This collection explores decorative objects inspired by the Romantic movement, which influenced art, literature and design throughout the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
The Romantic movement emerged in Europe as a reaction against strict classical traditions and the rational ideals of the Enlightenment. Artists and designers instead emphasised emotion, mystery and the beauty of nature.
Romantic interiors often featured dramatic decorative elements, historic influences and symbolic imagery drawn from mythology, religion and medieval history.
The movement had a lasting impact on decorative arts and helped inspire later design styles such as Gothic Revival and medieval revival interiors.
This collection explores decorative objects inspired by Romantic artistic traditions and the atmospheric interiors they helped shape.
