About the Item

A rarity 19th century Josef Florenz Wien massage armchair. This armchair was born operated with steam and subsequently powered electrically. Walnut structure, cast iron legs, carrying handles and steel footrests Restored and working Measure in cm: H 127 \ 57 W 70 D 78 History and curiosity of this subject: Florenz was one of Vienna's first and oldest weighing and weighing factories in Austria-Hungary. The first founder was in 1768, followed by Florenz and whose descendants developed their products up to the twentieth century. In the late 18th century, society became even an imperial supplier. The Napoleonic wars then brought the company into financial trouble. Thanks to the inventions, innovations, acquisitions and the use of new technological methods, the factory has been able to expand its market beyond the borders of the Austrian Empire. In 1900 almost all pharmacies of the monarchy, such as Imperial and Royal Court Pharmacy, had Florenz products.

Venice 19th Century Throne Chair attributed to Testolini Frères Venice ,Leather Upholstery, wax polished About Testolini Frères Venise Testolini Brothers saw its birth as a carpentry-cabinetmaking company; its owners were not ordinary personalities and immediately began to introduce new fashions in furnishings. The period chosen was not among the most propitious - shortly thereafter there would be the uprisings of 1848 and the famous revolt of Manin and the Republic of San Marco -, but the Testolini were not discouraged and serenely continued their production, seizing immediately the fresh artistic eclecticism that invaded the world from the mid-19th century, starting to conceive and produce original and imaginative models. Umbertine Style Furniture by Testolini Frères Venice Umbertine furniture is typically made with solid cherry, olive, oak and walnut wood.
