POA
Wilhelm Schmidt and made by Prag-Rudniker, in Vienna. A Vienna Secessionist Arts and Crafts oak piano stool. Tulip-style cut-outs to the topsides and curved seats, three vertical slats to each side, uniting the lower side stretchers to the lower twin stretchers with the original cane seat that I have had a few new repairs to as shown in the images.
