Description:

1940's Fischel Hooped Cane Seated Original Classic Bench. The process of steam bending beech to create elegant chairs was discovered and developed by Thonet, but when its patents expired in 1869 many companies including Fischel launched production. Fischel was founded in 1871 by Czech born David Gabriel Fischel, a successful vegetable oil merchant, using the first hand knowledge of his eldest son who had worked in one of Thonets Czech factories. First production was made in Germany in Niemes near the Danube. Later production moved to France in Alsace and sales offices were opened in most major French cities as Fischel became a major chair producer. The bench dates from the 1940's, a very classic shape with a stunning dark oak colour and character, the cane is original in excellent condition, hand woven onto the frame. We service and wax the bench before it leaves our workshop and we deliver vintage of excellent quality. Seat Height 47cm.
