Description from the seller
Pair of J. & J. Kohn Chairs – Vienna, Late 19th / Early 20th Century
Elegant pair of antique J. & J. Kohn chairs, from the historic Viennese bentwood furniture tradition.
The chairs feature beautifully curved wooden frames with a warm brown-mahogany finish and an attractive natural patina developed through age and use. The backrests are particularly decorative, with shaped and carved panels featuring geometric and floral motifs.
The round seats display an attractive raised fan-shaped decoration, giving the chairs a distinctive and refined appearance. The lower structure is completed by elegant curved rings and stretchers, characteristic of the Viennese bentwood tradition.
Manufacturer and label
An original J. & J. Kohn paper label is visible underneath one of the chairs, providing an important element for identification. J. & J. Kohn of Vienna was a major manufacturer of bentwood furniture and produced numerous chair designs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Museum records, including the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, document J. & J. Kohn bentwood chairs dating to around 1898.
