High quality good scale dining chairs produced by the famous czech firm ton, still trading today and producing beautiful chairs. After world war ii, the thonet factory in bystřice pod hostýnem (czech republic) was nationalized by the state in the era of communism in czechoslovakia. In 1953, the company was officially renamed ton, which is an acronym for továrny na ohýbaný nábytek, meaning “bentwood furniture factory” in czech. We have gently restored the frame but kept the original character and patina which is what this chair is all about. A strong sturdy chair of good scale with comfortable crescent shaped backs. We service each chair individually before it leaves our workshop and we deliver chairs of excellent quality. Seat height: 46cm. Workshop report: our workshop team inspect every product and carry out any needed repairs to ensure that everything leaves us serviced and maintained ready for many more years of life. All of our vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use and we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible.
