Adolf Loos attr.
WRITING DESK
Bel Etage, Wolfgang Bauer, Vienna
Date 1900
Epoque 1850-1900
Origine Vienna
Medium Mahogany, Solid and veneer, Solid beech wood, Dyed to rosewood
Dimension 78 x 160 x 80 cm (30³/₄ x 63 x 31¹/₂ inches)
Designed by: Adolf Loos attr.
Executed by: Friedrich Otto Schmidt, Vienna, after 1900
Mahogany, solid and veneer, solid beech wood, dyed to rosewood, lightly refreshed approximately 20 years ago, surface slightly refreshed, original brass fittings, 5 brass keys, inside left 3 concealed drawers, right 3 drawers, very good original condition.
In many of his furnishing commissions, Adolf Loos used desks like this in slight variations. The formal language of our desk is closely related to Loos’s furnishings of 1912 for Gustav Turnovsky’s study. The structure of the base, the panelling, the ordering of the drawers and front doors is almost identical. Only the panelling on the sides, the closed back with its two storage compartments, and the fittings deviate from it. The writing desk top is also veneered over the whole surface.
