There's really not much more to say about this quintessential design by Jean-Joseph Chapuis: the first bentwood chair, a milestone in design history! The history of modern chair design begins with this, perhaps the most technically innovative chair of the 19th century, laminated, curved, and lightweight, designed in 1805 – long before Michael Thonet! Today, these chair designs by Chapuis are represented in the world's most important design museums, although each one is handcrafted as a unique piece and thus very rare. This piece has an attribution mark, I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
