Kunst und kunsthandwerk; monatsschrift herausgegeben vom Österreichischen museum fuer kunst und industrie
A monthly periodical, Kunst und Kunsthandwerk, edited by Arthur von Scala and Franz Ritter and published in Vienna in 1898 by Artaria and Co for the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry, aimed at applied arts practitioners. Its plates show decorative objects and interiors of the period: a repoussé candlestick with leaf scrolls, a carved cabinet panel with figures, botanical studies with circular and square ornament panels, and an arched Art Nouveau room with stylised leaf-carved mouldings. A designer could take plant-derived motifs, stylised foliage borders and compact ornamental layouts from these plates.
