****I will ship anywhere!****This is an sale for the most incredible all original set of Thonet chairs. I have been in the antique business for 15 years and have never even seen a set of labeled Thonet Wien chairs at an sale or estate sale....and then I found this set which is from a prominent New York art dealer\'s estate. They have been in storage for at least 25 years and are in near pristine condition.
Since listing these chairs, I have spoken with a Thonet expert in Europe and he has been kind enough to shed some light on a few questions that I ad about the chairs. Each chair has a small square paper label with a number and in the example shown it is the number \"37\" and the other chair numbers are 24, 25, 31, 32, 40, 43, 57 which he points out since the numbers are not repeated and that they are so close together that they were made from the same charge. A few of the chairs bear their same number on the leg and incised. The gold paint was a special order from the customer who had the choice of dye or paint. This particular Thonet chair is rare when compared with regular Thonet bentwood chairs. He stated that it is shown in the 1904catalogas reprinted by Dover Publications, New York on page 7.
I cannot find another Thonet chair like this...the only place I can find anything like it is in a period Thonet advertisement. Each has the cane seat and cane back with turned and reeded legs in the front and more of a saber leg in the rear. There is the round bentwood \"ring\" which seems to float between the legs. They are all original...original cane even which is remarkable for over 100 year old chairs. Original gold gilding with some wear which only lends to the pure deliciousness of these chairs. Prior to storing these chairs, the seat pads were made and the top back of the chairs had the same fabric added with a draping look...both of these added to protect the cane seat and back. This is why the cane is all original...these chairs have either been coveted and/or in storage...and the only way to keep this cane original is to have these seat pads which totally protect them.
Each chair retains the original paper label and on the other side, the THONET AUSTRIA branded in the wood.
The fabric is a fine silk green and gold brocade...floral yet subtle. All of the seats are perfect and like brand new. Each is held on with 4 muslin ties. I am almost positive that this famous (infamous) New York art dealer had these readied for his home in Charleston and then never moved in...hence, the storage for 25 years. I will be listing other items from this same estate.

I have listed and will be listing other items from this same estate.
