Rudolf Brix - hunting studio

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Brix - Jagdatelier was a craft workshop for antler furniture and stag horn products. The family business existed in Vienna from 1820 to 1992 .

Heinrich Keitel's hunting studio was founded in Vienna-Schottenfeld in 1820. Heinrich Keitel was represented with antler furniture at the World Exhibition in London in 1862 . Five years later he took part in the Paris World Exhibition of 1867 with his hunting furniture and "heads made of deer antlers and stone pasta" . In 1893 Rudolf Brix, a nephew of the founding family, took over the company. At the turn of the century, antler furniture and other deer horn goods were used in hunting rooms and hunting locks. The company was awarded the titles "Chamber Supplier to Archduke Josef August" (Budapest 1903) and "Chamber Supplier to Archduke Otto" (Vienna 1903).

In the extensive store of deer and roe deer antlers, the scientist Raoul Ritter von Dombrowski carried out scientific studies on antler formation.

His daughter Friederike joined the company at the age of 15 and after the death of his father he led him until 1967. After that, his nephew Dieter Kümmel took over the company and moved to larger business and workshop rooms in Vienna (7th district). The operation became unprofitable and closed in 1992.
