Item Details

An exceptional ebonised sofa by the world renowned manufacturer Thonet, dating to circa 1900. This model features an elegantly shaped top rail above a distinctive kidney shaped backrest, a generous, comfortable seat, and sweeping open scroll arms. The entire frame is beautifully elevated by sophisticated gilded decoration throughout, all standing on stylishly outswept legs.


This piece is stamped by the maker and is a documented design featured in original Thonet factory catalogues. It has undergone a sympathetic restoration where all joints were checked and tightened to ensure structural integrity. The original ebonised finish has been meticulously cleaned, revived, and traditionally waxed to preserve its historic patina.


Upholstery State: The sofa has been professionally stripped and currently finished in a high-quality calico base. To give you complete design freedom, the back has been left unstuffed and unpadded, leaving the piece entirely ready to be covered in a top fabric of your choice. Two brand new feather cushions are included.


Condition: Superbly looked after over the decades, this rare collector's piece is offered in home ready structural condition.

Michael Thonet (2 July 1796 – 3 March 1871) was a German-Austrian cabinet maker, known for the invention of bentwood furniture.
He received a bronze medal at The Great exhibition of London in 1851 and at the next World's Fair, Exposition Universelle in Paris 1855, he was awarded the silver medal.
In 1856 Thonet Brothers expanded with a furniture factory in Korycany and in the next years, five more Central European production sites were established in Bystrice pod Hostýnem, Velké Uherce, Vsetín, Halenkov and Radomsko in 1880.
