[Art Nouveau] Bier & Schöll
Jugendstil design: original design from Vienna. ‘Holz- und Brandmal-Vorlage’. Very large plate. [Irises and goose].
Vienna, Bier & Schöll, ca. 1900. A very large, sheet (38.1 x 56.1 cm), numbered, with unique design. In full colour.
An excellent original Art Nouveau ‘poster’, with beautifully coloured irises. Possibly a design for a mirror or folding screen. The Viennese firm, Bier & Schöll - situated in the Tegetthoffstrasse - specialized in applied art, painting supplies and publishing, and was active from the late 1800s until the 1920s. A 1900 advertisement stated Grösstes Specialwarenhaus der Monarchie · für Malerei jeder Art, Brandmalerei-Apparate, Laubsägerei, Photographie, Kerb- und Lederschnitt sowie alle Dilettantenarbeiten · Bier & Schöll, Wien, I., Tegetthoffstrasse Nr. 9. [Largest special department store in the monarchy for painting of all kinds, pyrography apparatus, fretwork, photography, wood cutting and leather cutting as well as all amateur hobbies]. After 1915 the name was changed to Richard Bier. A very attractive, fine, large plate, and a very rare - if not unique - item. Slight, marginal fraying and minimal soiling; otherwise very good, clean. Not in Schneider-Henn, Ornament und Dekoration.
