Vienna Secession Furniture

VIENNA SECESSION STYLE & WIENER WERKSTÄTTE

At the turn of the 20th century, Gustav Klimt, Josef Hoffmann and several of their peers separated from the predominant Association of Austrian Artists to form a new professional union, the Vienna Secession.

The artists’ intent to break free from classical traditions in fine art evolved to encompass applied arts and interior design as well: In 1903, Hoffmann and Koloman Moser founded the Wiener Werkstätte, or "Viennese Workshop," to produce progressive furniture, ceramics, glass and textiles.

This talented collective of Austrian artists, architects and designers most famously created works in the Jugendstil style — the German branch of Western Europe's popular Art Nouveau. Jugendstil is associated with dynamic, rhythmic forms and undulating lines.

On 1stDibs, discover the sophisticated Vienna Secession furniture, art and decorative objects — ranging from watercolor paintings and prints to serveware and seating — that transformed Austria over one hundred years ago and maintain timeless appeal today.

Very original piece, nothing common. Very good quality. Ideal for Thonet or Vienna straw furniture lovers, which were and are common throughout Europe, especially in Central Europe, Austria and the Czech Republic. This rare piece is nothing common, I only saw one once in a brown color equal or similar to this one. Elegant and sophisticated, it has the original brass wheels and the lower part is a mirror and the upper part a smoked glass plate. Everything in perfect condition, surely it was never used, it was more an ornament than anything. Carts and bar carts...
