Set of Four Antique Thonet Chairs

Michael Thonet had his international break through in 1859 with "Chair No. 14", the so-called Vienna Coffee House Chair. The innovative technique of bending solid beech wood for the first time enabled an almost industrial production of a chair. This set attributed to him is most likely from the 20s or 30s. All four chairs are in stable working order - one has a break in one back piece and chairs show normal signs of wear from age and use. Lovely as is, or stamp your style on them by painting them a fun color. Each chair measures 17" W x 20 1/2" D x 35" H overall; seat is 16" in diameter at 18" H Local pick up only
