A complete enchanting bedroom furniture set by Portois and Fix, originally manufactured for the presidential suite at the Imperial Hotel in Carlsbad.
Portois & Fix worked closely with world-renowned artists and designers, especially later with the Wiener Werkstätte designers. For example Koloman Moser, Josef Hoffmann, Otto Wagner and many others. Portois & Fix around 1900 was among the greats of “Viennese Modernism”.
This bedroom set consists of a wardrobe, showcase, dressing table with one chair, pair of nightstands, double bed.
The original condition of the furniture has been unprofessionally refurbished at some surface parts over time.
It therefore requires a professional renovation. Generally is the furniture in good structural condition, bears signs of age and use and its design fully represents creations of the former Viennese designers.
