Daghestan rug design bubbles for Backhausen 1899

This design by Koloman Moser from 1899 showcases the artist's signature Art Nouveau style, characterized by flowing lines and organic shapes. The piece features a repeating motif of circles with intricate, wavy interiors connected by thin, meandering lines. The use of negative space and simple, yet elegant linework adds to the sense of movement and visual interest. The design was intended for use on a Daghestan rug by the Backhausen company, highlighting the influence of Art Nouveau on decorative arts and textiles.
