Chair Josef & Jacob Kohn No. 18 bent wood and caning

This antique Jacob & Josef Kohn armchair, model no. 18, is a lovely piece of furniture with timeless charm, characteristic of the bent wood creations from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Austrian company Jacob & Josef Kohn is renowned for its craftsmanship in bent wood furniture, a technique that allows for the creation of rounded and elegant shapes while maintaining the strength of the wood. This wooden armchair in warm tones features a backrest made up of two large curves, enveloping armrests, and a seat made of traditional caning, also known as Vienna straw. This open-weave adds lightness to the overall piece and contrasts beautifully with the wood. We particularly appreciate its curved lines, intricately designed armrests, and rounded seat, which give it a lot of character. In beautiful vintage condition, it shows a lovely patina and some visible signs of wear on the wood, particularly on the seat and armrests. The caning is impeccable. Both elegant and full of character, this armchair will easily find its place around a table, behind a desk, or in a reading nook. The kind of antique piece that transcends time without showing a wrinkle!
