Vertiko
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Vertiko is a kind of storage furniture, oriented to the vertical. It has usually two panelled doors. Above these, there is usually a drawer and a flat top. Often, is has a pediment as an additional feature.
Most likely its name is due to its inventor, a cabinettmaker in Berlin, Otto Vertikow, who built cabinetts beginning around 1860 called "Vertikow". Vertikos have been very common in the Louis Philippe and especially in the Gründerzeit style.
