Jacob & Josef Kohn of Vienna : catalogue, 1911-1912
A 1911-1912 trade catalogue issued by the Vienna bentwood furniture firm Jacob & Josef Kohn, probably printed for its New York market and distributed to dealers and buyers. The pages show chairs and rockers in bent beech with cane seats and backs, plus armchairs with pierced splats and slatted ladder backs. A designer could draw on the spare, curved frame profiles and the contrast between cane weave and solid wood for furniture or interior sketches.
