Additional Information:
Professor Josef Hoffmann designed a dining room for the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 (consisting of a dining table, six armchairs, a large buffet and two small pillar cupboards), which was carried out by the Viennese art furniture carpenter Anton Pospischil. The pillar cabinet we offer can be interpreted as based on Hoffmann's designs.

The object is currently undergoing restoration, which involves changing the color, repairing any damage and adding the missing fittings.

Photos of the restored piece follow.

The lower body of the sideboard is divided into a drawer and a cabinet with a drawer look (“Blender”). This piece is designed in the style of the selected designer and/or manufacturer See less
