Josef Maria Auchentaller and Georg Anton Scheid

Moser's buckle balances delicacy and rhythm. He further enlivens a meandering asymmetrical silver framework with elegant patterns of line and color. Negative space is contrasted with flat, decorative surfaces of blue and green enamel, curvilinear designs, and a round bead of lapis lazuli. (Skrypzak, Design Vienna 1890s to 1930s, no. 34)
