The most famous art nouveau style shop interior must be the shop of Nicholas Fouquet

L

Because of the particularly remarkable decorations of the Fouquet jewelry store, reconstituted and presented within the collections of the Carnavalet museum, you are immediately immersed in the Art Nouveau style, born in Belgium and further developed in France (and later also other distinct european regions), which will dominate the architecture, the decorative arts then the plastic arts (paintings, sculpture) until the First World War. A style characterized by curved and elegant lines; floral, plant or animal motifs inspired by nature; slender and idealized female silhouettes with extra long, flowing and evanescent hair. A style that will also put color back at the heart of arts and architecture.

To create the decorations for his jewelry store, presented here at the Carnavalet museum, Georges Fouquet (1862-1957) called on the Czech Alfons Mucha (1860-1939), an essential and emblematic illustrator of Art Nouveau from the end of the 19th century . Mucha was born on July 24, 1860 in Moravia, a region today partly encompassed by Czechia. After passing through Prague, Vienna and Munich, he arrived in Paris in 1887 to study art. At the same time, he gradually became known by producing magazines, illustrating catalogs or creating sublime advertising posters. His portraits of the famous actress Sarah Bernhardt, like those of many women in a vaporous and typically Art Nouveau style, made him famous. So much so that he was officially rewarded for his talents at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1900, notably thanks to a collection of jewelry that he designed.

This is how, in 1901, Georges Fouquet invited Mucha to design the decor for his new jewelry store located at 6 rue Royale, between Place de la Concorde and La Madeleine. The artist created a modern and functional boutique (Art Nouveau is in fact a quest for both aesthetics and functionality), designed as a work of art in its own right. Mosaics, furniture, display cases, stained glass windows, lighting, door handles... everything in the decorations and volumes is of naturalistic inspiration, with a lot of curves, plant and floral motifs, or even animal motifs (the bronze peacocks behind and in the (counter tops are beautiful). A central figure in Mucha's work, the elegant woman is present here too, but mainly in front of the store or in small touches inside. Dreamlike, magical and almost phantasmagorical, the powerful settings imagined by Alfons Mucha will surprise, fascinate and seduce his contemporaries. Dismantled in 1923, most of the shop's decor was given to the Carnavalet museum by Georges Fouquet in 1941. But only in the 1980's the shop interior was reconstructed in the museum.

After 2 of the most magical weeks in Paris, I am super sad to be back home and back to reality once again. Paris was truly an experience I will never forget and a city that is extremely close and dear to my heart. I didn’t post on my grid whilst I was away as I wanted to be in the moment and indulge myself in the beauty that is the City of Light. I will be sharing all my favourite Paris photographs over the next few weeks and create a highlight dedicated to my trip as so many of you kindly requested I do so. My first full day began at @museecarnavalet which is the most spectacular museum dedicated to the history of Paris. It also houses one of my favourite portraits by François Gérard which was such a delight to see. Afterwards I stopped for lunch at @fabula.paris within the museums courtyard amongst its luscious gardens. Here are some of my favourite photographs from my visit. #museecarnavalet #carnavaletmuseum #lemarais #paris #france #travel #parisfrance #historyofparis #museum #hotelparticulier #mansion #historymuseum #art #artworks #artist #interiors #decor #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #interiordesign #interiordesigner #frenchdecorativearts #frenchantiques #decorativearts #frenchart #mariederabutinchantal #frencharchitecture #architecture (at Musée Carnavalet - Histoire de Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiaeppHo3_i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The reopened Carnavalet Museum in Paris (free entrance!) has some art nouveau style on display, next to the Fouquet jewelry shop this beautiful dining room.

Did i mention art nouveau is one of my favourite styles?

In the museum you discover the history of the city of Paris.
