Item Details

1940’s Exceptional Early Bentwood Theatre Chairs – Set Of Four.


Founded in the early 19th Century by Michael Thonet, Thonet invented the process of steam bending wood under pressure and used this to design the classic bentwood chairs still in production today. In the 19th Century he had a large network of shops throughout Europe and was a huge furniture retailer. This is a stunning set of early chairs in a stunning design and shape with the original stencil painted numbers. The chairs have been gently refurbished in our own workshops and are in good condition. The chairs have some minor markings and no clear Thonet label so they may be Mundus or an early similar maker but we sourced them deep in the Czech republic and we have no doubt they were produced in a Thonet factory. One chair has the classic ‘O’ part marking.


Seat Height 46cm.
