Designed in a quintessential Viennese secessionist style, this modernist carpet was woven at the Ebergassing workshop (near Vienna) of the famous Philipp Haas & Söhne company, which was already active in carpet weaving since the second half of the nineteenth century.
The design features a centralised cartouche containing a kaleidoscopic array of flaming moirèe fabric patterns, illustrating the very essence of the Wiener Werkstätte, with its aim at modernising ancient textile traditions.
