1920's Dining Chair Model No. 105 by Gebrüder Thonet

About the Item

This is one of the most commercially successful chairs designed and produced by famous Gebrüder Thonet Company. It was first designed in 1885 (most likely by August Thonet) and can be found in Thonet catalogues in a slightly modified versions as model number 105. This chair was developed from model number. 56. In Thonet’s long history, chair no.56 was in many ways quite revolutionary and it was actually this design that started Thonet’s "Classic Line II.” The actual only design difference between chairs number 56 and 105 is the top part of the backrest. This chair has got one slightly taller and narrower opposite to a rounded bentwood part on no.56. The particular chair has got a striking honeycomb colour on all parts. This natural colour of the wood looks great in this simple design where the main features are the gently curved legs and backrest. The chair is in great vintage condition with only minor wear and patina gained over the years. It has been recently completely refurbished. Our experienced craftsman has carried the restoration to the highest standard, by using the original techniques and respecting the character of the chair, while reviving the beautiful natural pattern of both the seat and the backrest which were subsequently finished by hand in Shellac varnish.
