Product description
This piece of furniture is a historic armchair attributed to the Austrian architect and designer Gustav Siegel. It is Model No. 715, designed around 1900 for the renowned Viennese furniture factory J. & J. Kohn. This model was presented at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 and testifies to a successful combination of Art Nouveau and functionality. The chair is made of bent beech wood, stained reddish-brown and clear lacquered. The construction shows the elegant lines typical of Viennese Art Nouveau: the semicircular curved backrest frame flows smoothly into the front chair legs, visually and structurally enclosing the seat. Particularly noteworthy is the original upholstery of the seat and backrest, covered with a floral Gobelin fabric in warm beige and gold tones. The textile covering of the backrest is framed on the inside with decorative nails, which gives the chair an additional handcrafted quality. The striking lower cross braces and double-curved aprons under the seat not only provide stability but also add a decorative accent. The front legs are finished with flat brass feet, which emphasize the original value of this piece of furniture. Dimensions: L53 x W47 x H76.5 cm Seat height 46 cm Armrest height 75 cm
The chair is in good, museum-like condition with a beautiful patina. The wood shows isolated signs of wear such as minor scratches, pressure marks, and loss of sheen, which are consistent with the age and authenticity of the object. The upholstery is original and evenly preserved, with only slight age-related signs of wear. The construction is stable, the furniture is overall very well-maintained and ready for display or careful use.
