Chaiselongue Vienna around 1900/1904

Rare mod­el of an ele­gant chaise longue, exe­cut­ed by the sig­nif­i­cant Vien­nese fur­ni­ture man­u­fac­tur­er Jacob & Josef Kohn around 1900.

This mod­el was made from beech and bent beech­wood, which was bent using steam after the inven­tion of Michael Thonet, one of the main com­peti­tors of J. & J. Kohn.

This spe­cif­ic mod­el was depict­ed in the J&J Kohn cat­a­logue from the year 1904. The base of the chaise longue is ele­gant­ly curved. The bent­wood is dark brown with a glossy shel­lac pol­ish, and the frame bears signed labels.

It is a beau­ti­ful, time­less, and ele­gant piece of fur­ni­ture that can per­fect­ly com­ple­ment any style of inte­ri­or design, becom­ing the cen­ter­piece of any room, both visu­al­ly and in terms of comfort.

The fur­ni­ture has been restored and fresh­ly uphol­stered in our work­shops in a white base fab­ric — ready for a dec­o­ra­tive cov­er fab­ric of your choice.
