Kohn, likely dates from the turn of the 20th century. It elegantly showcases Viennese craftsmanship of the Belle Époque, when bentwood allowed for the creation of structures that were simultaneously lightweight, sturdy, and remarkably expressive. Its dark-stained wood frame, probably beech, is distinguished by its sinuous and harmonious lines, combined with the original caned seat and back. The integrated tray and footrest illustrate an ingenious design, conceived to combine comfort and functionality. Fully restored, with the exception of its original caning, which remains in very good condition, it exhibits excellent craftsmanship. Both a collector's item and a still-practical piece, this chair retains all the charm of antique furniture while reflecting the early explorations of industrial design. Particularly rare on the market, it will naturally find its place in a collection of Viennese furniture or in a refined interior seeking a piece steeped in history.
