Carl Moll commissioned Josef Hoffmann after 1906 to build a villa on Hohe Warte, which was intended exclusively for Moll and his family. Despite extensive research, it has proven impossible to find any documentation of the villa’s interiors. Several years ago, I acquired a cabinet and a bedside cabinet from a Viennese dealer. The cabinet is marked on the back: “Besitz Carl Moll” (property of Carl Moll). The style, this piece of furniture is desigend in, points to both J. Hoffman and K. Moser. A very similar bedside cabinet is shown in a Hohe Warte III documentation, volume 1906-7, p. 29, Der gedeckte Tisch.
