decorative arts

Decorative arts encompass a wide range of objects and design styles.

From Art Nouveau glass and gilt bronze to fine ceramics, carpets, and architectural ornament, ACES Gallery’s Decorative Arts department represents the craftsmanship and design that define our client’s interior spaces. We carefully evaluate each object based not only on maker and material, but also for quality of execution, period integrity, and decorative impact.
