The Bonadurer were a dynasty of carpenters from Arezen near Ilanz, first mentioned in 1669, whose work can be traced back to the mid-18th century. Their work is of an extraordinarily high quality and "the name Bonadurer may nowadays justifiably be placed at the same level as that of Conradin Colani (an Engadine cabinetmaker)". (Margrit Werder, Rhaetian Museum, 1977)
