AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Wiener Werkstätte Folder
Design: Josef Hoffmann (attributed)
Production: Wiener Werkstätte, Vienna, Austria
Era: early decades of the 20th century
Elegant folder for drawings or fabric samples made by the famous Wiener Werkstätte, the Viennese workshop founded in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, a leading figure in the renewal of Austrian design in the early 1900s. 
The piece features refined marbled decoration in shades of red, orange, brown and black, with a fluid and dynamic movement typical of the graphic and ornamental research linked to the Vienna Secession.
On the front is the Wiener Werkstätte mark, confirming its provenance.
The folder stands out for its high level of craftsmanship and for the characteristic balance between functionality and aesthetic research that distinguishes Wiener Werkstätte productions.
Besides its original function as a document holder, it represents a significant testimony of Viennese design from the early 20th century and is appreciated by both decorative arts collectors and scholars of the Secession movement.
Condition: good overall condition, with normal signs of aging compatible with the age of the object.
Size: 45 cm x 60 cm, without the white card mat.
It will be shipped with a passe-partout (mat) and frame but without the invert/backing to prevent breakage and thus the risk of damaging the folder.
PS: anyone interested in the entire lot can write to us privately.
We are seeking and can contact “Movers and Shakers” in the current world of Wiener Werkstätte textile collectors.
