He exhibited annually at the Austrian Museum Exhibition for Art and Industry from 1909 to 1914, and employed some of the top Austrian designers of the era, including Hans Bolek (1894-1978), Emanuel Josef Margold (1888-1962), and Otto Prutscher (1880-1949). His workshop was succeeded by M. L. Gaspardi in 1920.
