The Wisteria Dining Room, 1910-14, features an apartment in Paris at 10 bis. Avenue Elsé-Reclus, designed by Auguste Rateau, an engineer, member of the French Academy of Science, and connoisseur of the Art Nouveau movement. The room's interior decoration is a harmonious blend of distinct and unified whole, with the work carried out between 1910 and 1914 under the artistic supervision of Lucien Levy-Dhurmer, a ceramist, who turned his hand to painting and decorating. The room is a symbol of welcome, and Levy-Dhurmer incorporated it throughout the room, with the murals, painted in the Pointillist style, depicting herons and peacocks standing in wisteria-laden landscapes; the walnut-veneered wall panels are adorned with purplish amaranth representing clusters of wisteria blossoms; further clusters of blossoms and leaves are carved on the furniture and stamped on the leather upholstery. The bronze-and-alabaster standing lamps evoke the twisting trunks of wisteria vines.
