"Thonet, No. 16" Style Settee

This classic Thonet style bentwood settee has stood the design test of time.  It would be at home in a traditional setting as well as a very modern interior where it's graceful curves and natural materials would provide a nice contrast in a contemporary space.  While this piece has no Thonet signature, it retains portions of undecipherable original paper labels and has the impressed stamp "Made in Poland".  Thonet pieces were and continue to be made in Polish factories and the quality of this piece, even if not one hundred percent attributable to Thonet, is of the same standard.  46" l., 18" w., 34" h.  Polish, first half 20th c.
