Set of four dining chairs in bentwood and Vienna straw from the early 1900s, by Josef Hoffmann (with original label).
Rare set of four Austrian bentwood and cane dining chairs by Josef Hoffmann, dating back to the early 1900s.
Produced in Bielitz, Austria (modern-day Poland), by Josef Hoffmann, these chairs represent a masterpiece of the "Total Work of Art" (Gesamtkunstwerk) philosophy promoted by the Viennese secessionist movement.
Featuring sinuous steam-bent beech wood frames and intricate cane craftsmanship, these chairs represent the elegant transition from Art Nouveau to Modernism.
Finding a set of four chairs from this era, which still retain the original maker's mark, guarantees their authenticity and historical value, distinguishing them from later reproductions or anonymous period pieces, and offering an incredibly rare opportunity for discerning collectors and interior designers.
The set has been professionally restored with a commitment to historical accuracy and durability.
Structural Integrity: The bentwood frames have been carefully reinforced and repaired, ensuring stability and suitability for everyday use.
Weaving Restoration: The wicker seats and backrests have been meticulously restored using traditional hand weaving techniques and authentic natural materials.
Restored wood: the wood has been delicately restored to revive its warm and deep tones, leaving the signs of time visible and thus preserving the centenary history of the set.
This process, which requires careful craftsmanship, honors the original craftsmanship, ensuring durability and superior aesthetics compared to modern industrially produced alternatives.
