additional information:
the object was only made 50 times by his father's cabinetmaker - josef wytrlik.
otto wytrlik was a student of otto wagner and is one of the great names of viennese art nouveau.
the antique piece is well documented in literature and took first place in a competition organized by portois & fix: "design for a simple dining room". In 1902 the room was shown at the decorative arts exhibition in turin and was awarded a gold medal.
50 of these dining rooms, made by josef wytrlik, were sold by the portois & fix company after 1902.
similar variants were then produced by the august ungethüm company. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
