6 chairs Thonet bistro n°18 1/2 late nineteenth

Suite of 6 thonet chairs n°18 in format for public places called "1/2" appeared at the main manufacturers of curved wooden chairs from the end of the nineteenth century to optimize the places at the tables and in rooms. The n°18 1/2 is proven at thonet from 1885. We have it here in the best version of its proportions, around 1895-1900 ca, that is to say with a height on the back of 85 cm, a seat diameter of 38 cm, but the same seat height as the "large" is 47 cm. The backgrounds are originally plated where the faded relief of an old embossed pattern still shines through. It should be noted that the assembly of the feet is not with a circle but with arches, an option that appeared at the same time in the catalog for most models for the attention of restoration professionals (more robust in use). -- lot in its juice of find and its authentic patina of lived, verified and always good for the service. -- // delivery all france and ue or belfort collection, professional invoice - specialist for 10 years bistro chairs & bentwood tuna era in baumann// my other lots available: click on the right on "see the products of this seller".
