ABOUT PRODUCTID 44281
A pair of antique chairs crafted from bent beech wood and woven cane, attributed to the Viennese manufacturer J. & J. Kohn in Austria, dating to the late 19th century. The mastery of period wood-bending techniques is evident in the slender legs and seamless transitions between structural elements. The seats, composed of light honey-toned cane, offer a contrasting accent to the deep, warm brown of the semi-matte beech frame, where the natural wood grain and subtle patina are visible. The gently curved backrests are adorned with pressed floral and geometric motifs, emblematic of late-19th-century Viennese design, blending classical and proto-Art Nouveau influences. Each chair bears the J. & J. Kohn signature. Preserved in original, unrestored condition, the chairs display minor signs of age: small scratches, areas of wear, and gentle matting of the wood and cane. One chair features a slight damage to the cane seat, but both remain structurally sound. The listed price refers to the pair.These chairs echo the spirit of the fin de siècle: the fluidly bent wood tells of a Vienna alive with café culture and artistic conversation, where attention to detail signified true craftsmanship. Each line and pressed embellishment seems to invite a gentle pause—an invitation to linger over coffee, in a setting where tradition meets the dawn of Art Nouveau. The patina and age marks do not conceal history, but rather underscore a sense of lived authenticity.This pair could be placed in a classic living room or an eclectic collector’s interior, where historic forms meet contemporary accents. They may be paired
