Description from the seller

Pair of Bentwood Chairs in Thonet Style – Late 19th / Early 20th Century

Elegant pair of **antique bentwood chairs**, inspired by the famous Thonet models, characterized by the classic double-curve backrest and the traditional **round seat in Vienna straw, woven**. The light and harmonious forms, achieved through the celebrated steam-bent wood technique, represent one of the most iconic symbols of Central European production from the late 19th century to the first decades of the 20th century.

Both chairs feature a black **ebonized** finish, today enriched by an authentic patina and evident signs of age that testify to their age and use. The seats retain the characteristic Vienna straw weaving, while the frame preserves the essential, timeless charm of Thonet design.

**Conditions to review**: the chairs show widespread wear of finishes, abrasions, discolorations, small conservation defects, and visible signs of use, as documented by the photographs. No production marks or labels were detected. An ideal pair for a conservative restoration intervention, perfect for collectors, designers, or lovers of historic bentwood design.
