Antique J&J Kohn Bentwood Chair/Late 1800s/Beautiful Piece

This original J&J Kohns chair was my Great Grandfather's, it is in spectacular condition, hasn't been redone. It is extremely sturdy, no wobbles. Take a look at the pictures of the beautiful etching in the seat. This is a very rare piece of art.

In 1849 Jacob Kohn and his son Josef, of Vienna (Wein), Austria, founded a company that made wooden parts for buildings. The company began making Furniture in about 1867 and eventually established Factory's in several cities. The Kohns manufactured Bentwood chairs similar to those made by Thonet.

The Kohns company merged with Mundus in 1914 and the name became Kohn - Mundus. Kohn - Mundus merged with Thonet in 1922. This only has the Kohn name on it(see pictures) so I believe it was made before they merged, late 1800s. Kohns works can be seen in a number of museum's today,, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Look at all pictures, it's a beauty!!
