AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare Thonet footstool (Model Nr. 2) featuring its original dark brown (not black) period finish (dark walnut shade); dated to approx. 1875.

The piece is in pristine condition, free of woodworm, and fully intact; the Thonet Nr. 2 footstool pairs ideally with the Thonet Nr. 4 "Daum Model" chair or armchair, as both models feature characteristic curved volutes.

It bears the original Thonet paper label (Type 1C) as well as the branded Thonet stamp on the underside of the seat.

Compared to the two other, more common versions, this model is considered the rarest and most sought-after by collectors.

It is also listed in the 1886 Thonet catalog.

Dimensions: 37 x 29 x H. 16 cm.
