Specialist note

Dagobert Peche trained as an architect but is best remembered as a designer in a diverse range of media. He joined the Wiener Werkstätte in 1915 and became an artistic director, remaining involved until his death in 1923. The present reveals mastery of a style influenced by the Baroque and Rococo periods.
