Art Nouveau wall panels, Vienna, early 20th century

Large three-part Viennese Art Nouveau wall paneling measuring 228 x 328 x 4 cm, 228 x 320 x 4 cm and 228 x 133 x 4 cm. The wooden panels are coffered and decorated with rosaries and small floral squares in relief. The large panels are divided by vertical relief bars decorated with flowers and tendrils. The octagonal medallions with landscape inlays are striking: they show the ruins of Aggstein Castle and Schönbühel Castle in Austria. Both buildings were sold by the von Beroldingen family in 1930 to Count Oswald von Seilern-Aspang, in whose family possession they remain to this day.
