Pair of vintage bentwood chairs by Jacob and Jsosef Kohn, Austria

Two original antique bentwood chairs by Jacob and Jsosef Kohn - Austria. The chairs are comparable in design and quality to the Thonet model no. 14. These chairs were the company's bestseller for decades and were often copied. This set comes from Vienna from around 1900. The chairs are made of beech wood, screwed together and provided with a bentwood ring for stability, the seats are made of hand-woven Viennese cane. A seat was broken. Therefore, this seat was professionally renewed by a chair weaver in Schwerin and the color was roughly adapted to the other chair. The material of the new braid is cotton and therefore slightly different in structure. Both chairs now have a very good and stable weave again. The screw connections were checked and tightened where necessary. The chairs are of high quality and in good, stable condition with the usual signs of wear on the surfaces for their age. Two proofs of manufacture can be found on both chairs: paper label and embossed stamp. Total height 92 cm Depth about 50 cm Seat height 47 cm Seat diameter 42 cm Reference : 276060
