| TEXT | The greatest triumphs of modern inventive genius embrace no m«re beautiful and useful specialty than that of the wood mosaic company, whose spacious warerooms are located at No. 6 West 14th Street. The goods here displayed, and which are worthy of a most elaborate description, are all imported from Vienna, where they have been recently invented, and where they are now being manufactured upon the most extensive scale. The company, as represented by Messrs. Naumann and Fleischmann, was established in March, 1884, as successors to the firm of Naumann & Krekeler, who for one year previously had been located at No. 22 Bond Street. Both co-partners of the present firm are very widely known and very popular with New York business men. Mr. Naumann, as an importer and commission merchant, has built up the highest of reputations, while Mr. Fleischmann is one of the most public spirited citizens, and who. as the founder and proprietor of the Vienna Bakery, with branches at Philadelphia, St. Louis and San Francisco, has proved himself a most valuable member in commercial circles. The wood mosaics which the above house exclusively handles in the United States are marvels of skill and perfection, beauty and elegance, and yet being machine-made from ordinary materials are placed upon the market at remarkably low prices, considering the fine quality, both as regards conception and workmanship. The goods here shown are the same in perfection as the most costly works executed with great care and labor in stone or glass. The ?wood mosaics follow the same patterns, and are just as handsome and artistic, while both as regards wide range of pattern and rapidity of manufacture have absolutely no rivals. In the line of imitations of fine carved wood the results are beautiful in the extreme, the designs comprising about four thousand different patterns, such as medallions of eminent men and various celebrities, birds, beasts, fishes, fruit, flowers, etc. They are manufactured by a most ingenious pr»cess, and are stamped very rapidly by machinery, and are solid in texture and absolutely durable, clear cut as regards outlines of the portrait or picture and most beautiful in aspect, being such highly finished specimens that experts cannot tell them from fine hand-carved work. Another important feature is the ease and low cost at which they are manufactured, enabling the poor man as well as the rich to adorn his home with masterpieces of " fine art'' at once beautiful and instructive. These mosaics are being used to a great extent for decoration of walls, the inlaying of tables, stands, and furniture of all descriptions, and the attention of manufacturers of fine furniture for artistic effect is called to the fact that Naumann & Fleischmann are constantly in receipt of the most elaborate designs ever shown in this country. Twenty-eight thousand yards of these goods have been sold by the firm in the short space of three months, and are shipped all over the United States and Canada, the trade in these articles annually increasing in volume. It is difficult to realize that these wonderful mosaics were made by machinery, so perfect .are they in every detail. They are solely manufactured at Vienna, where every facility exists for their production, and they have obtained the first prize at the International Exhibition held at Vienna in August, 1883, for musical goods and special lines in Magasar goods. The firm also imports and keeps on hand a full line of patterns of stamped leather for chairs, sofas, etc., which are admitted to be the finest in this line of upholstery goods ever brought to the attention of American manufacturers. The co-partners are both zealously active in making known to the public the magnificent character of the goods they handle, and we have much pleasure in endorsing the display of these mosaics in their spacious warerooms. They have two branch stores, one at No. 12 East 14th Street and one at 10th Street and Broadway, at Fleischmann's Vienna Bakery. Personally, Messrs. Naumann & Fleischmann are thoroughly honorable and reliable, and afford every facility to secure the introduction of their goods into every town in this country. Liberality and a system of fair dealing have always characterized the transactions of this firm, and the success which has attended this enterprise has been as well earned as it is justly merited. |
