For Sale: Pair of Original Vintage Bentwood Bistro chairs ?200


2 chairs, made in Poland, with the Latin motto "Semper Sursum" meaning "always aim high" printed on a label underneath.


The makers J & J Kohn were a leading Austrian manufacturer of furniture in Austria - Hungary. The company was founded in 1849 by Jacob and his son Josef.

Both seats have a wonderfully imbedded and incised design. The chairs are strong and balanced, no wobble or breaks. The screws are original and are tight and in perfect condition.


Excellent condition.


?200 for the pair


Collection in East Dulwich



PM me for further details

excuse me. No I was interested but the price put me off

I thought maybe u hadn't considered that ?200 was a v high price for two chairs

Authentic or not - and if they are second hand I think it's v highly priced

That is all


Good luck

Having being given the chairs by my grandmother who has sadly passed away, we have had them in our family for almost 100 years - the price is what the experts have estimated & I for one am not going to question their expertise.


Thanks for your interest

Still for sale;



For Roseigracex the expert:


Email from Thonet attached below, 300 Euros for a single chair :



Your chair has got the No. 118 and was produced from 1922 until 1935. The "Design" of the seat is especially beautiful and is only to be found on this model. The estimated collector's value is about 300?.

Best regards,

Anke-Maria Thonet

    • Thanks Penguin. It could be a coincidence. But after years of road safety being on the local agenda they finally put the crossings in months before Dulwich Estates regain the lease on The Grove.   The Estate understands there is strong local interest in improving this area and we hope to be in a position to share some exciting updates in the near future. The temporary skatepark will remain unaffected. “Temporary skatepark” is telling.    
    • Back to my earlier post about familiarity.  I was in Croydon this afternoon walking between the two main stations.  Didn't feel unsafe, but there were some 'interesting' characters on the street.  Not that any were bothered with me. Not a place I'd choose to go for a bit of a fun.  Although having said that West Croydon has some cracking restaurants and the wonderfully named Saints and Sinners bar, where I once went on a corporate do - not that I did many of these. Whoops just checked and it closed a few months ago. Back on track, I never went to the Castle as I felt it was a bit rough.  How wrong was I?  Only real pub left in the area.
    • Wow Sue! I was reading your post with interest as I’ve never really felt unsafe in London and I was born here. It was just your last paragraph that derailed me and totally changed the subject matter! So unnecessary.
    • What made you think it was lost?
