Thonet - Michael Thonet - Chaise longue - No. 2 - Beech - Daybed No.2 By Thonet

This rare and iconic Thonet daybed was designed before 1904 and is beautifully documented on page 74 of the official Thonet catalog from 1904. It is a masterpiece of Viennese design, characterized by a flowing scrollwork frame of dark-brown stained beechwood, original handwoven rattan wicker, and a handy adjustable backrest. The piece carries an honest, distinctive patina that testifies to a rich history, but is structurally completely intact and stable. An absolute showstopper for a refined Art Nouveau interior or a stylish reading corner. Given the fragility and size of this historic piece of furniture, this lot is offered exclusively on collection or buyer-transport basis. The buyer bears the responsibility for organizing and funding the transport, though I would of course be happy to discuss suitable courier services after the auction and help with a smooth handover on site.

Estimate:£931
