Early Thonet armchair, Chair nr. 4,Michael Thonet, 1900’s

This beautiful, stunning chair, chair no. 4, is featured in ‘The atlas of Furniture design’ from the Vitra Museum (see last images). This chair is one of the first models that Michael Thonet developed in his Vienna workshop, which he set up in the city’s Gumpendorf neighbourhood in 1849.

The chair is in a beautiful condition, also its webbing which is even more refined than you usually see and still in perfect shape. One piece of a wooden ring, just below its seat is missing. Can be restored or you can leave it as it is as the chair is very solid.
