Alphonse Mucha Art Nouveau Business Cards


Alphonse Mucha Business Card front

Alphonse Mucha Art Nouveau Business Cards


Alphonse Mucha's Femme Parmi Les Fleurs

Don't you just love her fabulous earrings, beaded headband and jewelry? This would be a perfect card for a jewelry maker, bead maker, beader or hair stylist.

Femme Parmi Les Fleurs (Woman among the Flowers) c. 1900. by Alphonse Mucha.

Graceful, flowing lines and the yummiest of colors. I love the combination of the raspberry syrup and the watermelon pinks. This is one gorgeous card.

Personalize by changing the example business name, contact information, etc. to your own. You may change the font, font color and size, etc., with the "customize it" feature if desired.

This same design is also available as a personal calling card. Matching note cards, postage stamps, stickers and more in my gallery's Art Nouveau Collection.

Verneuil Art Nouveau Butterfly Pendant Necklace

Verneuil Art Nouveau Butterfly Pendant Necklace

"Papillon" Nature-Inspired Butterfly Motif
Nature-inspired Art Nouveau butterfly trails his French name behind him in a fresh and pleasing script. Classy color scheme of viridian (blue green) and chamoisee brown. I love the sense of movement here. This little butterfly has a certain charm you just can't resist. I think it's his little smile and the way he looks at you.

Sterling silver plate chain is 18" with 3" extender and lobster claw clasp. Necklace arrives in a special black felt bag. Finished with UV resistant, waterproof, glossy coating.

Matching items available in my gallery's Combinaisons Ornementales Collection.

About the artist: Maurice Pillard-Verneuil studied under Art Nouveau master Eugene Grasset. An early interest in Japanese printmaking blossomed into a passion for Asian art after his visit to Southeast Asia. In love with nature and the natural world, he drew inspiration from plants, flowers, animals, insects and marine life.

About this artwork:This particular design is number 50 from a suite of 60 color lithographs after decorative Art Nouveau devices by Mucha, Verneuil and Auriol found in the book 'Combinaisons Ornementales se Multipliant à l'Infini à l'Aide du Miroir' (Decorative Combinations, Infinitely Multiplied with a Mirror) by George Auriol, pseudonym of Jean-Georges Huyot, journalist, poet, songwriter, painter and engraver. Published in the year 1900 by Librairie Centrale des Beaux Arts, Paris.

It is a joy to bring the best art of previous centuries into our own for everyday use and enjoyment. I hope you will enjoy wearing this necklace as much as I enjoyed working on the design.
