Mid-Century Modern Pair of Black Thonet Bentwood and Vinyl Chairs

About the Item

Handsome pair of Thonet bentwood Mid-Century Modern chairs in black with black vinyl upholstery. They are in good vintage condition. The vinyl does have a few cuts and nicks. The black painted wood shows age appropriate wear and patina. The nailheads are patinated as well. Please see photos, circa 1940s-1950s. We adore this fabulous pair of Mid-Century Modern dining or side chairs by Thonet. They are comprised of Thonet’s signature bent plywood legs in their original black finish and wear their original black Naugahyde or faux leather on the fully upholstered seats and backrest. They do have an age patina that in our opinion only adds to their beauty. This chair was made in two styles with a single connector for the backrest or double connectors. This pair has the single connector which I think is the most handsome. The vinyl is completed and adorned with age patinated nailheads. They are the perfect go anywhere extra seating just like that little black dress that hangs in your closet. Make them yours!
