1970s Mexican Iron Side Chairs in the Style of the Model 17 by Thonet, a Pair

About the Item

A vintage circa 1970's pair of Mexican iron garden or side chairs done in the style of the well known Model 17 chair designed by Michael Thonet and produced by Gebruder Thonet in the early 1860's. This pair of iron chairs, dates to circa 1970's, hails from Mexico and is stamped underneath. This pair was being used inside a home as side chairs. "Michael Thonet was the son of the master tanner Franz Anton Thonet of Boppard. Following a carpenter's apprenticeship, Thonet set himself up as an independent cabinetmaker in 1819. In the 1830s, Thonet began trying to make furniture out of glued and bent wooden slats. Thonet's essential breakthrough was his success in having light, strong wood bent into curved, graceful shapes by forming the wood in hot steam. This enabled him to design entirely novel, elegant, lightweight, durable and comfortable furniture, which appealed strongly to fashion – a complete departure from the heavy, carved designs of the past – and whose aesthetic and functional appeal remains to this day" from wikipedia site.
