The Tree of Life, Stoclet Frieze, c.1909

With elaborate curlicues on glistening gold leaf, “Tree of Life” presents a universal motif in a unique context. Artist Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was a forerunner of Modernism and the Art Deco movements, helping to pioneer the Viennese Secession and Art Nouveau movements. Modern art and jewelry are still profoundly influenced by his innovative style.

This finely crafted wall tapestry is made in the USA by skilled artisans, using Jacquard looms and cotton yarn with gold accents. An iron rod and finial are included, in addition to brackets and hardware for easy hanging.
