MADE FROM STEAMED BEECH WOOD BENT INTO SHAPE, USUALLY KNOWN AS BENTWOOD CHAIRS. THEY WERE FIRST MADE BY 'THONET' IN THE LATE 19th CENTURY, SADLY THIS ISN'T THONET BUT MADE IN THE STYLE OF THONET CHAIRS.
THE SEAT IS MISSING. IT HAS SUFFERED WITH WOOD WORM IN THE PAST, IT IS PROBABLY LONG DEAD! BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND TREATING IT TO BE SURE. IT IS IN THE LEGS AND MAY HAVE WEAKENED ITS STRENGTH.
IN WORN CONDITION WITH SOME WEAR AND TEAR. SEAT HEIGHT IS 47cm.
THIS LOOKS OK AS IT IS, BUT COULD EASILY BE STRIPPED OR PAINTED. PLEASE SEEK ADVICE BEFORE STRIPPING OLD PAINT AND USE THE CORRECT SAFETY EQUIPMENT. IT WOULD LOOK GREAT PAINTED IN A CONTEMPORY COLOUR TO GIVE IT A STYLISH NEW LOOK.
