For Sale: Pair of Original Vintage Bentwood Bistro chairs ?200

2 chairs, made in Poland, with the Latin motto "Semper Sursum" meaning "always aim high" printed on a label underneath.

The makers J & J Kohn were a leading Austrian manufacturer of furniture in Austria - Hungary. The company was founded in 1849 by Jacob and his son Josef.

Both seats have a wonderfully imbedded and incised design. The chairs are strong and balanced, no wobble or breaks. The screws are original and are tight and in perfect condition.

Excellent condition.

V likely the price is why

[Laur]

"rosiegracex nothing better to do" - The official Authenticity verification department at the original Thonet Company in Frankenberg in Germany gave me the price?

[rosiegracex]

excuse me. No I was interested but the price put me off

I thought maybe u hadn't considered that ?200 was a v high price for two chairs

Authentic or not - and if they are second hand I think it's v highly priced

That is all

Good luck

Having being given the chairs by my grandmother who has sadly passed away, we have had them in our family for almost 100 years - the price is what the experts have estimated & I for one am not going to question their expertise.

Thanks for your interest

For Roseigracex the expert:

Email from Thonet attached below, 300 Euros for a single chair :

Your chair has got the No. 118 and was produced from 1922 until 1935. The "Design" of the seat is especially beautiful and is only to be found on this model. The estimated collector's value is about 300?.

Best regards,
