The dining room ensemble by Portois & Fix was presented in 1902 at the Austrian Exhibition in London and in 1906 at the Austrian Exhibition in Earls Court, London. Since the furniture was very well received there, the entire series was designated
"Modell Londonl" (the London model).

This is demonstrated by the two original paper labels found on the back of an almost identical Portois & Fix sideboard (Autumn Salon 2008, cat. no. 2: Fabr [Fabrikationsnummer - manufacturer’s number] 2224, Buffet Modell London, Macassar, 9/11/06, Schäfer).
