Only two gilded examples were paid for and delivered by the Wiener Werkstätte, very few ungilded pieces remained with the Welz company after the bankruptcy of the WW. Our piece is one of these and was professionally gilded afterwards. The design is based on the square mirror design by Dagobert Peche, whose charcoal drawing is kept in the WW archives.
