About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
Splendid and rare original vintage Thonet chair, Model No. 20 (also known as the "Omega" or "Cuore" model), produced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
An iconic piece of design history in steam-bent beech, perfect for collectors or as a unique piece of furniture in modern or classic settings.
The authenticity and age of this piece are attested by unmistakable structural details (visible in the attached photos):
Original seat in Vienna straw: Traditional workmanship performed entirely by hand, strand by strand (through the frame, not industrially pressed). The straw is intact, solid, well-stretched, and has a splendid natural patina.
Contemporary hardware: Structural joints tightened with original period forged single-slot screws (prior to the invention of Phillips screws). The iron shows its natural historical oxidation.
Conservation status: Excellent structural condition. The wood is solid, free of cracks and has a fascinating patina of time that guarantees its authenticity (the paper labels from the period have been lost over time due to cleaning, as almost always happens with lived-in pieces).
