EXCEPTIONAL AND RARE RELIGIOUS ALTARPIECE, CIRCA 1902-1910

EXCEPTIONAL AND RARE RELIGIOUS ALTARPIECE, CIRCA 1902-1910
Koloman Moser (attributed to).
Featuring a temple with the Christ on the cross and two angels in marquetry of macassar ebony,
incrustation of mother-of-pearl, copper and ivory
The lower part is represented by a pattern design of cubes in marquetry
Inscribed IHS (iota-eta-sigma) or (Iesus Hominum Salvator)
55 cm. high
36 cm. wide
25.5 cm. deep

Probably executed by Koloman Moser for one of the many churches designed and built by himself
between 1902 and 1910. We can unmistakably combine the design and technique of marquetry
which combines the inlaying of ivory, copper, mother-of-pearl and exotic wood with the secretary
made in 1902 by Koloman Moser at Charlottenlund Castle near Stockholm
The stylization of the letters IHS corresponds to the work and research on the lettering and
words that occupied Koloman Moser throughout his career

Koloman Moser (attribué à).
Exceptionnel et rare retable religieux figurant un temple avec le Christ en croix et deux anges en marqueterie de placage d’ébène de Macassar, orme et incrustations de nacre, de cuivre et d’ivoire
Le sol est représenté par une marqueterie de jeux de cubes sans fond

Inscription IHS (iota-eta-sigma) ou (Iesus Hominum Salvator)
Hauteur : 55 cm
Largeur : 36 cm
Profondeur : 25,5 cm

Probablement réalisé par Koloman Moser pour l’une des très nombreuses églises dessinées et construites par lui-même entre 1902 et 1910
Nous pouvons indiscutablement rapprocher le dessin et la technique de la marqueterie qui combine l’incrustation d’ivoire, cuivre, nacre et bois exotiques avec le secrétaire réalisé en 1902 par Koloman Moser au château de Charlottenlund près de Stockholm
La stylisation des lettres “IHS” correspond aux travaux et recherches féconds sur le lettrage et les mots qui ont occupé Koloman Moser tout au long de sa carrière
