Very nice and in good overall condition Michael Thonet (Boppard, July 2, 1796 - Vienna, March 3, 1871) was an Austro-Hungarian cabinetmaker and one of the leading figures in Victorian-era design. In the years around 1830, Thonet carried out his experiments with veneer strips softened in boiling glue before inventing "bentwood furniture." In 1842, Prince Metternich, impressed by the Rhineland cabinetmaker's talent, called him to Vienna. Here Michael Thonet devoted himself and his sons to making parquet floors and furniture for the Liechtenstein Palace and the Schwarzenberg Palace. With the creation of chair No. 14 for the Daum café on Vienna's Kohlmarkt, he soon conquered the Viennese café scene, laying the groundwork for the development of the furniture sector for "community," i.e., public rooms.
