Haardscherm met batik waarop een ornamentaal vissenpatroon van snoekbaarzen c. 1900 - 1902

This firescreen, created by the Dutch design collective 't Binnenhuis around 1900, features a striking batik panel with an intricate pattern of stylized fish. The panel is set within a wooden frame, with an ornate border echoing the organic forms of the fish. This piece exemplifies the Arts and Crafts movement's appreciation for handcrafted objects and traditional techniques, incorporating batik, a resist dyeing technique originating in Indonesia, into a functional household object. The firescreen is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the early 20th century in the Netherlands.
