Description

The Secessionist Movement began to emerge in Central Europe at the end of the 19th century. Rejecting the conservative limitations of their parent institutions, these avant-garde groups were motivated by the desire to elevate the status of applied arts to the level of fine art. Although the movement began in Munich, it was the Vienna Secession which famously produced exquisite work across a spectrum of creative disciplines, including textiles. The aesthetic initially resembled the curvilinear Art Nouveau style, but it increasingly moved towards abstraction and geometric simplicity, heralding the birth of the Modern Movement. Our lovely embroidered panel is a product of this period, and is a joy to behold. Worked in fine soft wool, the combination of geometric simplicity and subtle colouring make it a delightfully happy and decorative item, and a great example of the output of the Secessionist designers. One can imagine it lining the walls of a Viennese coffee shop! Clean and in very good condition. Woven on both sides.
