Richard Riemerschmid Secessionist Cabinet, Circa 1905
A very rare and important cabinet, designed by Richard Riemerschmid and made by Dresdner Werkstätten für Handwerkskunst, 1905.
Still retaining its original off-white paint, as was the fashion of the time, seen in the furniture of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Josef Hoffmann, the piece retains the original brass lock, hinges, and pins. The simple interior has adjustable shelves.
The Vienna Secession movement advocated simplicity, rational construction, and honest use of materials, which in turn influenced modern design developments. Their influence was so global that the Wiener Werkstätte even had a shop in New York in the early 20th century.
The Brohan Museum, Berlin, has an identical model in larch in their collection.
Dimensions:
Height: 79.53 in (202 cm)
Width: 43.71 in (111 cm)
Depth: 22.05 in (56 cm)
Location:
Rancho Santa Fe, California.
