Style note — as a major international style, in different countries Art Nouveau had different names. For example, it was called Jugendstil in Germany, Secession in Austria, Stile Liberty in Italy and Modern in Russia. Essentially this was a new art and design, breaking away from the old, traditional aesthetics.
Facts of Lavish Good to know — traditionally, tough wine stains inside glass decanters were removed by rolling a buckshot; nowadays they are called decanter cleaning rolling balls.
