Small Reading Table, Vienna, Design Thonet

Rare mod­el of an ele­gant small read­ing table, exe­cut­ed by the sig­nif­i­cant Vien­nese fur­ni­ture man­u­fac­tur­er Thonet around 1888.

This mod­el was made from beech and bent beech­wood, which was bent using steam accord­ing to the inven­tion of Michael Thonet.

This mod­el was depict­ed in the cat­a­log of the Thonet Broth­ers from the year 1888. The frame of the small read­ing table is exe­cut­ed in an ele­gant­ly curved form. The bent­wood is stained in dark mahogany and pol­ished with shel­lac, and the stamped sig­na­ture is placed under the plate.

A beau­ti­ful, time­less, ele­gant piece of fur­ni­ture that can be per­fect­ly com­bined with many inte­ri­or styles.

This extreme­ly ele­gant read­ing table has been restored with great atten­tion to detail in our work­shops and reflects the aes­thet­ics and crafts­man­ship of the Thonet manufacture.
