Au Mikado: A Tea, Coffee and ‘Oriental’ Art Emporium in Vienna/ Christina Baird - Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011. - Volume 24, Issue 4, December 2011, (359–373 p.) - Quarterly - .
‘Au Mikado’ was a tea and coffee emporium situated in the central, ‘first’ district of Vienna during the closing years of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth. Although not a great deal of recorded information survives about this establishment, what does exist, in the form of sales catalogues and an invitation to sale of Heinrich von Siebold's private collection in 1909, sheds some light upon the access to Japanese and Chinese art in Vienna during this period. This study will seek to address the role of ‘Au Mikado’ and similar establishments in Vienna, examining the range of Chinese and Japanese items available for sale to the Viennese public.
