AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique roll-down desk Wilh. Fehlinger & Söhne – Vienna, early 1900s
I am selling an elegant wooden desk with a roll-down shutter, made by the Viennese manufactory **Wilh. Fehlinger & Söhne**. The piece preserves the original factory plaque, located at Rittergasse 3, in Vienna.
The desk is equipped with two side file drawers, a wide work surface, small drawers and internal compartments, as well as two practical pull-out boards. The Fehlinger manufactory is documented in the production of Viennese furnishings from the early 20th century.
Particularly fascinating is the security system: when the shutter is closed, the drawers remain locked. A precise sequence of movements also allows opening a **secret drawer**, intended for the storage of documents and personal items.
The piece shows the natural signs of time, including ink traces on the top that tell its story. A piece rich in character, ideal for collectors, professional offices, or interiors furnished in a classical style.
According to available information, the company is still active today, maintaining ties with the traditional Viennese artisanal and productive craft. The original plaque thus represents an additional historical and collectible point of interest.
**Transportation excluded.** For further information or to view it, please contact me.
