Circle of Joseph Danhauser. Vienna circa 1815. Wonderful chair with a "timeless" design in practically intact condition. This is a museum-quality object due to its "futuristic" and original shape, as well as its perfect state of preservation. The miniature shows a drawing by Joseph Danhauser (kept at the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna) for a very similar chair model. It is veneered in mahogany feather with refined geometric and ray inlays in ebony wood. In practically intact condition, with polishing refreshed with real shellac using a buffer on the first patina with museum standard technique. Original upholstery (excluding the outer blue satin, of course). H. 90.5, seat height 46, width 48, depth 48
