This intricately designed, three-panel iron screen from circa 1910 is a piece of German Arts and Crafts, or Jugendstil, metalwork. It is attributed to the notable German architect and designer Richard Riemerschmid (1868-1957), a key figure in the Jugendstil movement who was influenced by the British Arts and Crafts movement. Riemerschmid was known for creating functional, well-made designs and was a founder of the Deutsche Werkstätten für Kunst im Handwerk and the Deutscher Werkbund.
