- Lot Description
36. Silver Dress Cane -Ca. 1900 -Large silver crook handle with a longer and pointed nose decorated in the best “Wiener Werkstätten” or Viennese Workshops taste with applied gorgeous stylized floral elements in a trendsetting, interlaced and modernistic Art Nouveau design. It is struck with the Austro-Hungarian Empire silver mark for small articles in use from 1867-1922 beside a “WB” maker’s mark and an “800” for the silver title and comes on a smooth and well-streaked partridge shaft and a brass ferrule. The distinctive iconic design of this cane makes of it a first rate collectable. Age complimented the cane and it survived in original condition. -The Wiener Werkstätte (literally Viennese Workshops), a similar idea to Ashbee's Guild of Handicraft, was officially registered on May 19,1903 as a craftsmen cooperative, producing furniture, metalwork, textiles, glassware, and ceramics (the latter mainly in conjunction with the Wiener Keramik factory, founded in 1906 by Bertold Loffler and Michael Powolny). The Werkstätte's aims were spelt out in the Arbeitsprogramm, a working program published by Hoffmann and Moser in 1905. Aesthetically, the Werkstätte pursued the innovations of Jugendstil as popularized by the Vienna Secession from 1897. From the outset, despite the patronage of Adolphe Stoclet and textile magnate Fritz Warndorfer, the Werkstätte struggled to achieve economic viability; Moser left, partly for money reasons, in 1907 but Werkstätte continued in existence until 1932. Last year Vienna celebrated the centenary of the Wiener Werkstätte with various museum and gallery exhibitions, which also showed many cane handles. -H. 3 ½” x 4”, O.L. 34 ½” -$1,000-$1,500
