Product description
This pair of Thonet style bentwood chairs in steam-bent beech stands out for its turned baluster spindles in the back and for the round seat with central sunburst pressed pattern. Central Europe, circa 1920. Attributed to the Thonet tradition or the Central European bentwood school (including makers such as Jacob & Josef Kohn or Fischel), this piece reflects the formal and structural standards of early 20th-century Viennese production, although no maker’s mark is present to confirm a definitive attribution. Adding turned baluster spindles to the bentwood chair was a nod by Vienna manufacturers to historicist models, offering a more decorative alternative to plain spindles. Mundus catalogued this family as a domestic model intended for dining or entryway use. The structure follows the bentwood technique: continuous curved leg and perimeter lower hoop, both in steam-bent beech. The turned spindles are introduced as an ornamental element without altering the constructive logic of the frame. The seat keeps its original sunburst pressed pattern, a technique that combined anti-slip function with decoration. The patina shows a warm honey tone with honest wear on the lower hoop and seat edge. They work well around a solid wood dining table or as accent chairs in transit zones. The turned spindles add a decorative point that softens the linear rigour of classic bentwood.
