The antique cabinet is in good original condition (locking keys, but are not original).

Otto Wytrlik was a student of Otto Wagner and is one of the big names of the Vienna Art Nouveau. The ancient piece is well documented literarily and occupied 1st place in a competition, which was advertised by Portois & Fix: "Design for a simple dining room" (photo 4). In 1902 the room was shown at the exhibition for decorative art in Turin and awarded a gold medal.

50 of this dining room, manufactured by Josef Wytrlik, were sold by the Portois & Fix company after 1902. Similar variants were then produced by August Ungethüm. 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
