Description from the seller

PAIR OF ORIGINAL THONET CHAIRS – CZECH PRODUCTION – VIENNA STRAW SEATS

Italian Description

Elegant pair of vintage Thonet chairs, made in the Czech Republic, characterized by the classic bentwood construction, refined black finish, and round seats woven in Vienna straw.

These chairs represent an example of traditional Central European design, appreciated for generations for their harmonious lines, visual lightness, and timeless elegance. The distinctive curved backrest, formed by sinuous lines, pairs perfectly with the round Vienna straw seat, creating a refined contrast between the black frame and the natural color of the seat.

The Czech production is part of the long European tradition of bentwood furniture, tied to the history of Thonet chairs and the spread of this style in cafes, bistros, and homes between the 19th and 20th centuries.

Under the bottom of one of the chairs there is a label bearing the words ZMG Fabrique, an interesting detail for identifying the production.
