It was conceived <i>en-suite</i> with a table and chaise longue, for a dressing room, and was upholstered originally in grey-green silk and white trimming. The design echoes the fascination of the period with plain surfaces, light-coloured woods and ebonised decoration, all reminiscient of  Biedermeier design of the period 1815-1840.\r\n\r\nAlthough the wood has darkened and the inlay faded, the chair's form has lost nothing of its novelty.","physicalDescription":"Tub armchair, of maple with ebonised pearwood. Six brass-capped feet rise as uprights to support a semi-circular maple back rail which continues to form arms. The areas between the uprights are concave, panelled in maple and each section is divided into squares, the upper one of each hollowed out and featuring a square of small ebonised circles. The back and sides of the armchair are upholstered in five sections of fabric trimmed with gimp, the sprung seat is covered as one section.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Moser, Koloman","id":"A11452"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"AAT25190"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"maple","id":"AAT12236"},{"text":"pearwood","id":"x34734"},{"text":"brass (alloy)","id":"AAT10946"}],"techniques":[{"text":"joining","id":"AAT137062"},{"text":"staining","id":"AAT53058"},{"text":"inlay (process)","id":"AAT53850"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Maple, inlaid with ebonised pearwood, with brass feet; the upholstery is not original","categories":[{"text":"Furniture","id":"THES48948"}],"styles":[{"text":"Secession Movement","id":"AAT111580"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"FWK","id":"THES48597"},"images":["2008BT7449","2008BT7448"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"001","id":"THES343048"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Armchair","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Vienna (city)","id":"x29246"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1903","earliest":"1903-01-01","latest":"1903-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"70","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"61","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"61","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"This chair was made for the dressing-room in the Hölzl apartment in Vienna.
