About the Item

solid built oak Jugendstil CHAIR made in Rabenau / Saxonia upholstered with care - fitted with hand embroidered jute fabric Rabenau's chairmaking tradition is almost 400 years old. The many special skills developed by Rabenau chairmakers during this time have survived industrialisation, and they have survived national ownership and the Federal Republic of Germany's vocational training regulations unscathed. Today, 16 companies work under the umbrella of a co-operative. They produce chairs and tables in a way that is committed to the best traditions of the trade. The chairmakers in Rabenau demonstrate their skills above all in the faithful reproduction of historical models. In 1910, the Rabenau-based company supplied the following chairs and tables to furnish the four-hundred-year-old "Old Nikolai School" in Leipzig's Nikolaikirchhof. Chair construction Adam Friedrich Zürner, the surveyor of Saxony's Elector Augustus the Strong, noted on his travels in 1720: Rabenau, here it is remarkable that almost all the inhabitants are chairmakers, who make wooden backrests into chairs, also woven English, carved and other fine chairs, have been sent to Dresden, Freiberg, Magdeburg, Berlin and Hamburg for over 100 years, including 100 dozen a year. This statement by Zürner is an important document about the beginning and development of chair making in Rabenau at that time. Rabenau has maintained its position as the centre of handcrafted chair making in Saxony to this day. What's more, the traditional art of chair making has been preserved here like in no other region of Germany. The history of chairmaking from the past to the present can be experienced in the German Chairmaking Museum. Rabenau is nicknamed the "chair-making town".
