[QUOTE="Fid, post: 4342656, member: 7724"]it would be Vienna. V.B. means Fünfter Bezirk (fifth district). for me it looks a made-up post-war item. as johnny points out: the form of the doors would normally be those you find on an armoire Normande. the pressed balls feet you find on Bodenseeschrank (Lake Constance armoires, both sides, Southern Germany and Northern Switzerland). the copper plates with the prominent ear-hangers are in the style of Mucha's Byzantine heads.[/QUOTE]
