Lot 39 | Paar Sessel Nr.16
Estimate value
€ 2 800 – 3 500
Um 1861. Entwurf Gebrüder Thonet.

Buchenholz, massiv gebogen, Geflecht. 116x43x50,5cm. Prägestempel "Thonet Wien", Sonne Typ I "XII", "IL TYD NICHOLL".
Die Sessel stammen aus England. Der Stempel: "Thonet Wien" findet sich überwiegend an
frühesten, massiv gebogenen Stühlen. Einiges Kopfzerbrechen bereitet der Stempel: "IL TYD
NICHOLL". Recherchen ergaben, dass es sich dabei um einen Londoner Händler handelt, der
die Sessel mit seinem Namen versehen hat. Die Kennzeichnung mit römischen Ziffern finden
wir auch auf anderen Sitzrahmen; sie geben dann jeweils die Modellnummer an. "XII" passt
aber nicht zu der Modellnummer 16. Ein Vergleich ergab, dass die Sitzrahmen für die
Modellnummern 12 und 16 identisch sind. Man hat also hier offensichtlich - aus welchen
Gründen auch immer - die Rahmen der Modellnummer 12 für die Sessel Nr. 16 verwendet. Eine
weitere Besonderheit betrifft die Sitzhöhe dieser beiden Sessel. Sie beträgt 45 cm. Es ist
nicht klar, warum diese Sessel so tief sind. Einmal hat es offensichtlich mit dem in
England Üblichen zu tun. So schreibt Franz in einem Brief vom 12. Mai 1860 aus London nach
Koritschan: "Sessel No. 14 müssen 1 Zoll niederer sein, nehmt sie oben ab, sonst geht der
Schwung verloren"
