Berlin, 1928, four-legged structure made of solid and veneered dark-stained oakwood, dimensions: height c. 80 cm, width c. 44.5 cm, depth c. 63 cm, height of seat c. 45 cm. Slight signs of age and use. (MHA)
Only a few pieces of furniture by the architect Harry Rosenthal (1892 Poznan - 1966 London) have survived.
