Wooden bistro chair, Jacob & Josef Kohn, 1st half 20th century

Beautiful chair with a striking design and details. Especially the decoration on its seat and backrest with a dotted pattern which is not often seen. In good condition, no damage to the wood. Just minimal, normal signs of ageing. See all images. Jacob & Josef Kohn, also known as J. & J. Kohn, was an Austrian furniture maker and interior designer in Vienna. Jacob Kohn (1791–1866) together with his son Josef Kohn (1814–1884) founded the enterprise in 1849. Kohn would later rise to become one of the leading furniture makers in Austria-Hungary, becoming one of the leading competitors of Gebrüder Thonet. Kohn worked together with artists of the Wiener Werkstätte and Josef Hoffmann in the design of many pieces. Kohn merged with Mundus in 1914, which in turn merged with Gebrüder Thonet in 1921 to become the world’s largest furniture manufacturer.
