Liberty & Company

Japanese: リバティ商会 - リバティしょうかい(英語表記)Liberty & Company
Liberty & Company
A British department store founded in 1875 by Arthur L. Liberty (1843-1917) on Regent Street in London. It started out by selling Oriental products such as ceramics and silk from Japan, China, and India, and gradually began to sell original products such as dyed textiles, furniture, and other items in partnership with artisans from the Arts and Crafts movement. These were popular in the orientalist and aestheticist climate of the time, and the Liberty style was considered synonymous with Art Nouveau, giving rise to the term "Stile Liberty" in Italy.

イギリスの百貨店。1875年アーサー・L.リバティ(1843‐1917)がロンドンのリージェント・ストリートに創立。日本,中国,インドの陶器や絹など東洋の物産を扱うことから始め,しだいにアーツ・アンド・クラフツ・ムーブメントの中から生まれた工芸作家と提携して,染織,家具その他のオリジナル商品を販売するようになる。それらが当時の東洋趣味や唯美主義的風潮の下にもてはやされ,リバティ風はアール・ヌーボーと同義とみなされ,イタリアで〈スティーレ・リバティStile Liberty〉の呼称を生んだ。
