“Secessionism is definitely having a very vogue-ish moment,” confirms Adam.Ī 'Ropley Occasional Table' from And Objects holds 'Spiral Ice Cream Sundae' glasses by &Klevering. The clean, clear modern lines of the style, evocative of the contours of nature and coupled with an imperturbable order – a look that Jermaine Gallacher describes as “refined, and quietly decadent” – are what inspired House & Garden’s Decoration Editor Ruth Sleighthome’s shoot in the November issue ‘Viennese Whirl’ features antiques mixed with contemporary designs by Jermaine, Adam Bray, Fred Rigby, and more. A joint project between the legendary dealer Yves Macaux, whose focus has never swerved from fin de siècle Vienna, and the Bond Street-based gallery Richard Nagy which specialises in the work of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, it is a perfectly presented micro-exhibition of the furniture, art and decorative elements of the time. Should you find yourself visiting Frieze Masters this weekend (and do go, if you’re in town) you’ll see – almost immediately on entering – a stand devoted to the arts of the Viennese Secessionists.
