Item Details

1920's Fischel Bentwood And Split Rattan Dining Chairs. Exceptionally rare and highly original chairs by Fischel. The process of steam bending beech to create elegant chairs was discovered and developed by Thonet, but when its patents expired in 1869 many companies including Fischel launched production. Fischel was founded in 1871 by Czech born David Gabriel Fischel, a successful vegetable oil merchant, using the first hand knowledge of his eldest son who had worked in one of Thonets Czech factories. First production was made in Germany in Niemes near the Danube. Later production moved to France in Alsace and sales offices were opened in most major French cities as Fischel became a major chair producer. Not all chairs have a makers mark but some do so we are sure they are Fischel. These chairs date from the 1920’s, an exceptional shape with the rare central front leg and the original split rattan backs and seats. The chairs are in very good condition for their age but we do not recommend them for high use environments, as with all cane of this age it can be more brittle and will potentially deteriorate with high use. Please note on most chairs the cane already has some deterioration. The chairs have a rich colour and character and an elegant back. We service and wax each chair before it leaves our workshop and we deliver chairs of excellent quality. Listing is for one chair and every chair purchased will be randomly selected and be representative of the images.
