Pair of Thonet Black Lacquered Bentwood Armchairs with Upholstered Seats, 1940s

About the Item

A very dapper pair of uncommon 1940s Thonet bentwood birch armchairs with freshly redone black lacquered finish and white upholstery. Handsomely crafted frame of flat bentwood elements distinguished by cantilevered arms that split off from the wide back legs. Comfortably shaped seat back with curved center support. Sleek lines and clean design are especially striking when viewed from the side. Refinished in hand-polished satin black spray lacquer over the original birch veneer. Reupholstered in thickly textured basket weave white cotton upholstery with new padding. Additional photos provided upon request.

  • English Georgian Period Elm Ladderback Fireside Armchair with Rush Seat, c. 1800
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    An uncommon circa 1800 English Georgian period country ladderback fireside armchair in elm with woven rush seat. Delightfully proportioned, with the tall six-slat back “towering” over the extra-low seat, and the frame having a laid-back profile. Hand-crafted of solid elm, with nicely turned arms, legs, and stretcher. Stands on carved club feet in front and simple metal band-reinforced feet in back. Displays very handsome authentic antique character, color, and patina throughout. Natural woven rush seat is likely not original, though it does have some age to it, is period-appropriate, and complements the overall look. Designed to bring a hearthside sitter closer to the fire, with its seat also being at a perfect height for a child. Antique ladderback...
