Decorative arts and sculpture from the first half of the nineteenth century are featured in this gallery within The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Galleries. The aesthetic range represented by these works of art is vast, reflecting the interest in a wide variety of historical styles that persisted throughout the 1800s. The designs of many of these pieces of furniture, ceramics, glass, and silver employ motifs derived from earlier styles, but they are combined and reinterpreted in ways that create entirely new works of art, despite their references to the past. Among the periods that served as sources, Gothic and Renaissance works were especially popular.
