The name Art nouveau is French for 'new art', it is also known as Jugendstil, German for 'youth style', named after the magazine Jugend, which promoted it. It is characterized by organic, especially floral and other plant-inspired motifs, as well as highly-stylized, flowing curvilinear forms. Art Nouveau is an approach to design, according to which artists should work on everything from architecture to furniture, making art part of everyday life. Art Nouveau's fifteen year peak was strongly felt throughout Europe, from Glasgow to Spain and as far East as Moscow, but its influence was global. |

Never-ending Knot Purse Mirror
2504
|
Never-ending Knot Purse Mirror, made from Pewter. A must have accessory for any woman, fits easily into your bag. All Purse Mirrors are presented in a stylish suede pouch with a drawstring top to prevent them from damage. While many of the ancient designs certainly had some spiritually significant meaning, these have been lost to the ages. The continual looping of the designs suggests themes of eternity and interconnectedness, and knots may have been at one time to foil evil spirits. Interwoven figures of people and animals may have represented the interdependent natures of life-two or more knots laced together symbolize lovers, hunters and their prey, God and man, etc. Some knots were used as magical talismans for protection. |

How, you may ask, did such a thorny flower become a National Emblem? Well, so the story goes, a very long time ago when Scotland was ravaged by Viking invaders, a group of Scottish fighting men were resting overnight in a field. Unknown to them, a raiding party was preparing to attack this group of Scots, under cover of darkness. As the attacking Vikings approached the encamped Scots, they stood on a patch of Thistles with their bare feet and, of course, let out cries of pain as the thorns dug deep into the soles and toes. The Scots, Having been awakened by this rammy, were able to fight off the attackers. So, from that day, the Thistle has been adopted as Scotland’s National Emblem. |
