The jewelry of the Wiener Werkst�tte blurs the lines between gorgeous ornament and miniature sculpture. The Wiener Werkst�tte, or Vienna Workshops, was founded in 1903. The firm’s artistic cofounders, Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, subscribed to the English Arts and Crafts ideal of exceptionally well-made objects designed by artists and executed by specialized craftsmen. Following the example of near contemporaries Ren� Lalique and Louis Comfort Tiffany, Hoffmann and Moser shared the belief that jewelry should be valued for its artistic merit and not simply for its monetary value. This opulent publication highlights masterpieces created by the Wiener Werkst�tte between 1903 and the early 1920s. It features significant pieces by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, Carl Otto Czeschka and Dagobert Peche, among others. Supplemental materials include relevant periodicals, design drawings and photographs of prominent clients.

Store Description

The Dawn Treader Book Shop has been selling used and rare books in Ann Arbor since 1977. In that time we have grown from a tiny basement shop to a spacious storefront offering over seventy thousand titles. THE BOOKLOVER'S GUIDE TO THE MIDWEST describes the Dawn Treader as 'An absolutely fabulous bookshop, with something for everyone,' which was their highest praise for any shop in the Midwest. LaVar Burton once called it the, "Best bookstore ever." We'll let you decide. We buy books and libraries in all areas, from early printing to modern fiction. We are especially interested in the sciences and humanities; modern first editions, including science-fiction, fantasy, and mysteries; and early travel and exploration.
