In 1906, Portois Fix celebrated its 25th anniversary with an impressive participation in the ‘Austrian Decorative Arts’ exhibition at the Sloan Square exhibition centre in London. In the exhibition catalogue ‘Imperial Royal Austrian Exhibition’ Vienna-London, a ‘Smoking Room’ is presented, which shows, among other things, the desk and the accompanying armchair - art furniture that still inspires today as an expression of the elegant design of the era. The Portois Fix company became known as an excellent furniture manufacturer in Vienna around 1900. It produced designs by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser and others. This magnificent desk is characterised by the fruitwood inlays designed by Josef Hoffmann in 1901, the exquisite workmanship and the elegant appearance. The lock of the centre drawer bears the stamp ‘Portois Fix Wien’. A small brass plaque with the model number is also attached under the armchair. All the fittings on the desk are original. Particularly exciting: this desk was equipped with a letter slide in the front drawer of the desk as well as a patent master lock. marked on the underside of the armchair "5340" and on the lock of the centre drawer of the desk "7130H"; Bib.: Das Interieur, vol. 2, 1901, p. 155; Publ. 1906 Austrian Decorative Arts (exhib.), London Sloan Square (smoking room).
