Bell System Thonet Attr. 1900s Counter Drafting Swivel Adjustable Pair Stools

About the Item

Possibly manufactured by Thonet in Austria between 1910 and 1915 and used by phone operators at Bell System. Constructed of solid maple, oak, and enameled steel, with hard rubber footrests. Our examples have been completely refinished. Seat pads have likely been replaced. Note that while both stools swivel, one does not have tilt or tilt adjustability. Should you want to separate the stools, the price for the loop back is $1500, price for paddle-back is $1200. List price is the discount for both stools together. Height adjusts from 43" to 47.5" overall and 27.5" to 32" in seat height. Seat diameter: 15.5"
