Haardscherm van palissander- en violethout, gedeeltelijk verguld, ingelegd met lapis lazuli en bekleed met geel Jaquard-weefsel. 1899

This firescreen, crafted by Dutch designer Theo Nieuwenhuis in 1899, showcases the intricate details of the Art Nouveau style. The frame is meticulously carved from rosewood and violet wood and inlaid with lapis lazuli, while the center is adorned with a yellow jacquard fabric. The screen's elegant design and refined craftsmanship reflect the artistic trends of the late 19th century, making it a notable example of Art Nouveau furniture. This striking piece, currently on display at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Nieuwenhuis' skill and the enduring beauty of the Art Nouveau movement.
