Anna Hue-Roques

Oggetto: Coppia (2) di sedie in legno curvato con seduta in paglia di Vienna
Produttore / manifattura: Jacob & Josef Kohn (marchi presenti)
Stile: Viennese / Bentwood (legno curvato a vapore), gusto caffè-bistrot, fine XIX–inizio XX secolo (datazione precisa non verificata)
Quantità in asta: 2 sedie
Nota importante: provengono da un set originale complessivo di 6 sedie. Le altre sedie verranno proposte in lotti separati da 2 (ogni asta = 2 sedie).

Identificazione e marchi

Le sedie presentano marchi di autenticità visibili:
	•	Timbro cartaceo (label) Jacob & Josef Kohn applicato sulla struttura (vedi foto dettagli).
	•	Marchiatura a fuoco (branded mark) Jacob & Josef Kohn impressa sul legno (vedi foto dettagli).

Questi elementi sono tipici della produzione storica e sono un forte indicatore di manifattura.

Materiali e costruzione
	•	Struttura: legno massello curvato (bentwood), ottenuto tramite curvatura a vapore; finitura verniciata/patinata color noce medio-caldo.
	•	Seduta: paglia di Vienna intrecciata (cane seat) su telaio circolare.
	•	Schienale: con montanti torniti e arco superiore curvato, tipico delle sedie da caffè mitteleuropee.
	•	Gambe: slanciate e leggermente rastremate, con rinforzi sotto seduta.

Misure (dimensioni standard di riferimento)

Per questa tipologia/modello (No.14) le misure standard sono:  ￼
	•	Altezza totale: circa 90 cm
	•	Larghezza: circa 41 cm
	•	Profondità: circa 49 cm
	•	Altezza seduta (SH): circa 45 cm

(Nota: trattandosi di sedie d’epoca, possono esserci piccole differenze tra esemplari; le foto restano parte integrante della descrizione.)

Condizioni (condition report – molto importante per Catawiki)

Sedie originali d’epoca, con normale usura coerente con l’età e l’uso:
	•	Struttura in legno: presenti segni del tempo, piccole abrasioni, graffi, leggere scoloriture/patina e punti più scuri in alcune zone, compatibili con utilizzo domestico/caffetteria.
	•	Seduta in paglia di Vienna: trama complessivamente presente; si notano aree con usura e possibili piccole irregolarità/cedimenti localizzati (come da foto ravvicinate).
	•	Stabilità: in generale sedute utilizzabili, ma su arredi vintage è normale che possano esserci micro-movimenti o bisogno di piccola manutenzione conservativa.
	•	Etichette e marchi: visibili ma con naturale invecchiamento (parziali/consumati in alcuni punti).

Considerazioni collezionistiche

Questa coppia è ideale per:
	•	collezionisti di bentwood viennese e arredi da caffè storici,
	•	interior design (mix vintage/modern, bistrot corner),
	•	progetto di restauro leggero o conservativo per valorizzare patina e autenticità.

Spedizione

Imballaggio accurato consigliato (protezione seduta in paglia e schienali). Spedizione tracciata.
