More information

Johann Georg Hiltl (1771-1845) returned to Munich in 1794, after his education as a carpenter, and opened his famous furniture store in the Pranner street 4. Contemporaries describe the merchant and artistic carpenter as one of the “most interesting appearance of Munich”. From 1818, Hiltl developed an easier process which enables the transfer of graphics on a wooden surface. The so produced furniture with its sensitive surfaces were though hardly intended for usage but served the taste of extravagant showpieces of Hiltl’s customers.
