Please excuse us for the inability of the people at Selency who do not capitalize proper names!! Kohn armchair n°715, design by Gustave Siegel, model proven in 1899. The construction of the 715 is easily recognizable by its front legs which are the extension of the top of the backrest, in use from 1900 to 1940, always very popular.
