Otto Rothmayer (1892 - 1966) (attributed) ART DECO DINING ROOM

Buffet: 201 x 182 x 59 cm; Table (unfolded): 75 x 70 x 104 cm; Round table: 76 x 110 cm; Chairs: 81 x 51 x 50 cm; Lights: 43 x 44 x 42 cm. The dining set of furniture comes from the famous villa of Daniel Knotek in Lázně Toušeň. The furniture excels with its masterful workmanship and distinctive design inspired by Czech and French art deco with elements of functionalism. Above all, it follows the sensitive style of Josip Plečnik, with whom Rothmayer collaborated on the reconstruction of Prague Castle. The impressive buffet with a polished white brass superstructure (referred to as pakfong) is finished with a standing female figure, which is probably the work of sculptor Damián Pešan. It contains six drawers, two locking doors and two sliding shelves. Similarly imaginative is the folding dining table with chrome tubes in place of the tripod, which can be combined with a separate round table after unfolding. Eight chairs with leather seats, which were originally painted light green, with an elegant rondo cubist design. The set also includes monumental paired wall lights made of polished white brass. Completely restored, with original leather.
