Designed in a quintessential Viennese secessionist style, this modernist carpet was woven at the Ebergassing workshop (near Vienna) of the famous Philipp Haas & Soehne 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 Werkstatte, aiming to modernise ancient textile traditions.
