Studio-Talk
Represent historical subjects derived from the
old traditions and customs of the town of
Vienna. The whole is elaborately executed in a
light bluish-green colour scheme, with which the
stained-glass windows are brought into harmony.
The panelling is in oak, and the system of arched
vaults is carried right through this principal room.
The other departments are more simple in design,
and portions display somewhat indifferent work-
manship. It must be admitted, however, that the
undue haste with which the work had to be
finished may account for some shortcomings,
which might otherwise have been easily avoided.
As it is, there is good and bad work mixed up
together.
At the Jubilee Exhibition there was a reading-
room (after designs by Prof. Hans Novack), exe-
cuted and exhibited by the firm of J. W. Muller,
which attracted considerable attention, and was
afterwards sold to the Hohenzollern-Kaufhaus in
Berlin. The arrangement may pass for an average
example of interior decoration over here (see page
55). The walls are covered with “creton,” the
floor with carpets. The ingle-nook has a bench
running round the three sides, and a table of
polished coral-wood richly ornamented in copper.
The doors, drawers, and bookshelves are likewise
ornamented in copper. The armchair is made of
coral-wood and the chimneypiece is composed of
Minton tiles and relieved in embossed copper.
All the wooden part is in maple-wood stained dark
green.
Of the latest specimens of Austrian art displayed
at the Spring Exhibitions, there will be a selection
of illustrations and notes in a later number of The
Studio. W. S.
