Thonet - Chair - Beech

Stunning and original bent beechwood chair stained walnut, in Art Nouveau style, produced by Thonet (Austria). This model, dating from the very early 1900s, stands out for the curved panel backrest and the characteristic floral and geometric motifs pressed in heat on both the plywood seat and the back. This decorative relief technique (often associated with the Cosmos variants) was used in the first decades of the twentieth century to embellish the classic bistro or Viennese café chairs. A rare piece in good condition, with conservative restoration work carried out, cleaning and filling of holes with professional wax and final polishing. Present are the original Thonet Austria marks (fire-stamped) and a paper mark (partial).
