Title: Art Deco Thonet Bentwood Dining Chair w/ Bakelite Seat

Description: This original Thonet bentwood armchair features a Bakelite seat and backrest. The chair's bentwood beech frame is elegantly curved, showcasing the transition between Art Deco and the later Mid-century Modern design influencing later designs like the famous LCW by Charles Eames. The Bakelite seat and backrest offer a striking contrast to the wood, adding both warms and a modern touch to the piece. Michael Thonet (2 July 1796 – 3 March 1871) was a German-Austrian cabinet maker known for the invention of bentwood furniture. Stamp "Thonet" on both the seat and backrest. There is a chip on right side of dining chair in the Bakelite that is photographed. Dimensions: 31.5" height x 17" width, 23" Deep, with a seat height of 18" United States, 1930
