Our chair is similar to those found in the antechamber of the flat of Rudolf Kraus, brother of the writer and satirist Karl Kraus, located at 13 Nibelungengasse in Vienna. Adolf Loos (1870–1933), an Austrian architect, displayed his designs in this flat and commissioned cabinetmakers such as Josef Veillich and Friedrich Otto Schmidt, frequently drawing inspiration from 18th-century models.
