A fireguard, designed by Norbert Krieger,
Pilsen, Czechia c. 1932, matted and nickel plated brass, height 45 cm, width 65 cm, depth 4 cm. (DRAX)
This fireguard formed part of an interior design by the architect Norbert Krieger in Pilsen. It was used in the drawing room in front of a marble fireplace. All of the pieces of furniture in this apartment were veneered in Makassar wood and largely firmly installed.
In Pilsen, Norbert Krieger closely cooperated with Adolf Loos, who around 1928/29 furnished and decorated several apartments there for wealthy families of bankers and industrialists. Trained under Loos at the Vienna Construction School in 1920–23, Krieger also realised independent projects in Pilsen during the 1930s, emulating the style of Adolf Loos.
Provenance:
from an apartment in Pilsen, Czechia, in situ until c. 2004
