Thonet bentwood chair no. 107, Vienna cane, circa 1900

Antique bentwood chair from the Viennese manufacturer Thonet, Model No. 107, circa 1900. The attribution was personally confirmed by Thonet from the family and factory archive — a rare certainty for a piece over a hundred years old. Characteristic of No. 107 is the fine interplay of slightly curved front legs (Sabre shape), a closed arch at the back as a supporting element, and the V-shaped backrest, crowned by a gently curved top rail. The frame is made of steamed beech bent with steam, and the original Viennese caning in the seat is preserved and intact.

The beech patina shows the warm, dark maturation that only develops in early bentwood chairs with over a century of use — small scratches and color variations underscore its authentic condition. The seat height corresponds to the historical coffee house standard, making the chair equally suitable for a dining table, a desk, or as a standalone piece in a hallway or bedroom. Whether placed individually or paired next to a round bistro table — this chair brings the clear signature of the Viennese bentwood tradition into any room.
