Art Nouveau Coffee Table "Fledermaus" by Josef Hoffmann, AT ca. 1906

Description
Remarkable round Art Nouveau Coffee Table "Fledermaus" designed by none other than the Austrian architect and founder of the famous "Wiener Werkstaette" Josef Hoffmann around 1906 for the company of Jacob & Josef Kohn. This iconic design was built by both "giants" of bentwood furniture at this time - Thonet & J&J Kohn - and became world renown as part of the inventory for the famous Viennese cabaret/ coffeehouse Fledermaus in Austria. This fantastic Art Nouveau table was made of fine beechwood, typical for Kohn furniture, and trimmed to a very dark mahogany/ brown tone with a beautiful hand-polished shellac finish. This early 20th century side table comes in absolute great restored condition. As you may see a lot of faked copies on the market, especially of this model, this masterpiece is an absolute original showing the wellknown paper mark of "JACOB & JOSEF KOHN" under the tables top. A real timeless piece of bentwood furniture from the company of J&J Kohn in Vienna.
