Pair Of Art Nouveau Thonet Chairs by Josef Hoffmann, 1st edition! - CZ ca. 1906
-
Description
Very rare pair of the first edition(!) of bentwood chairs by Thonet from the early 20th century, produced by Thonet in Bohemia. Designed around 1906 by none other than the world renowed Austrian architect and founder of the "Wiener Werkstaette" Josef Hoffmann, this famous pair of Art Nouveau Thonet chairs - Mod. 643 - is from the absolute rare first edition and comes in great original condition. A clear indication for the first edition is the design of the five rods in the backrest: the backside shows a semicircular shaped form, whereby the front has a grounded, straight surface (see pictures #13 & 14). Same models can be found on the market but these are almost all re-editions from the 1930/40s. Artfully crafted out of bentwood (=beech formed under hot steam and pressure), the chairs have been trimmed to the well known dark mahogany look. The leather seating surface shows signs of use but still confer them a charming appearance. Both pieces are marked with the famous Thonet paper sign at the bottom. Don´t wait to long for this one-of-a-kind chance to own those really rare, valuable collectors chairs from Josef Hoffmann.
