19th Century Viennese Jacob & Josef Kohn Attributed Bentwood Cradle

About the Item

A rare original Viennese Art Nouveau period beechwood child's cradle, attributed to Austrian furniture maker and interior designer J. & J. Kohn (Jacob & Josef Kohn Company). Exquisitely hand-crafted in Vienna Secession style in the late 19th century, the exceptionally executed European antique, circa 1875, having a scrolled canopy hook, over boat-shaped basket with bentwood loops and scrolls, original worn rattan and fabric liner, rising on curved legs, joined by center stretcher. **Please Note: For decorative use only** Dimensions: (approx) 81.25" High, 58" Wide, 28.75" Deep Jacob Kohn (1791–1866) together with his son Josef Kohn (1814–1884) founded the enterprise in 1849. Kohn would later rise to become one of the leading furniture makers in Austria-Hungary, becoming one of the leading competitors of Gebrüder Thonet. Kohn worked together with artists of the Wiener Werkstätte and Josef Hoffmann in the design of many pieces. Kohn merged with Mundus in 1914, which in turn merged with Gebrüder Thonet in 1921 to become the world’s largest furniture manufacturer. The Kohns' received many awards and prizes for their work. They received a Spanish Royal Warrant of Appointment as purveyors of the royal house (Proveedor de la Real Casa). Kohn's works can be seen in a number of museum today, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna and Disseny Hub Barcelona.
