Condition
Width: 21 1/4 in.

Overall good consistent with age and use. The coat rack is missing four hooks, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The current finished is not believed to be original and has a number of scratches, minor losses and wear to finish and oxidation consistent with age and use over the entire surface, consistent with age and gentle use. A very interesting example of Loos designs for Viennese Café in the 1910s.
