Jugendstil desk designed by August Knobloch’s Nachfolger ca. 1908

About the Item

This exquisite desk was made by the furniture factory August Knobloch's Nachfolger. In the period around 1900, the cabinetmaker's factory belonged to the circle of Vienna's most important artists. It regularly appeared in the programs of the Vienna Secession exhibitions. Its products were also presented and praised at the most important Austrian arts and crafts exhibitions. Some furniture was made for the architect Otto Prutscher. It can therefore be assumed that several other Viennese designers also had their designs produced by this furniture factory at the time. The materials oak and alpaca were rarely used in furniture from this period. The quality of the fittings and the excellent carpentry work should also be emphasized. The austere, minimalist form and compact size make this desk a very special piece of furniture and a wonderful work of art.
