An original and old vintage object, designed and executed by the Austrian architect and designer Carl Auböck. The frame is made of beechwood and is equipped with eight lovely patinated „G-shaped“ solid brass / bronze hooks, which, we think, are the most beautiful ones. They can be positioned randomly on the rows. In very good condition with nice patina. Please notice, that the two lower slats are marginally bent. This should not be considered as a defect or damage, more as a charming sign of age, as wood is a working and living material. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
