Pair of bistro chairs 1900 from Türpe in curved wood

Pair of bistro chairs in curved wood at the very beginning of xxe, a very rare model of which we can, for lack of a marking still present, attribute the provenance to the firm türpe (desden, germany) thanks to some specific details of assembly of which I have the expertise. As a reminder, türpe is the oldest and most important german curved wood seat factory, founded, in the wake of thonet in vienna, in 1867 in dresden. A huge supply during the annexation (1871-1918) alsace-lorraine where we still find some copies among the family or trade furniture (administration, cafes restaurants, etc.). Here, on the sidelines of the classic models (n°14, 18 etc.) a unique design, demanding with this backrest with plywood slats both curved and curved that evoke ribbons. Very "jugendstil"... They have equipped lateral arches that in addition to their function of reinforcement refines the elegance of the silhouette. Cannages redone in the manual tradition with six knotted strands, slightly patinated by the pole-and-line.
