Our sideboard was part of the dining room designed by Josef Hoffmann in 1899/1900 for the Paris Exposition. It was first presented in the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry in February 1900 in a pavilion specifically designed for the 1900 Paris Exposition.
In our TEFAF 2015 catalogue, we presented the large sideboard designed for the same room as catalogue number 1.
