Office chair Thonet 1898-1900 ca

Tuna desk screw chair in the original version, known to the tunaet catalogue since 1879, i.e. - turning and rocking - dreh-schaukel-chair No.1 (a later version only rotating drehfauteuil, also existed). Height-adjustable and reclining - a system of blade springs mounted on a cast iron base with the rear butt of the brace as a stop. This copy is lined with the open wood background in a stylized palmette motif "jugendstil" launched at the same time as model 221 (from 1898). This makes it possible to refine, taking into account also the model of the tuna stamp present under the seat, the dating of the piece between 1898 and 1900. Extra-fine (feines geflecht) medallion in perfect condition. Beautiful patina of origin, your mahogany (No. 5 or 6 at the THONET shade of the time) naturally shaded by time or thinned in places of use. A masterful and rare piece both from the point of view of the model and its condition. --- In the photo the seat height is set to about 50 cm in order to show the screw axis. At standard seat height 47 cm, the total height of the chair is 99 cm. Seat 50 x 48 cm - width between 50 cm armrests. --- delivery assured all France, professional service with invoice.
