<p>[QUOTE="mark737, post: 4333761, member: 14894"]I have the book on Thonet's history by Christopher Wilk and it says that when their patents expired in 1869 many companies began making exact copies of their chairs, even using the same model numbers. I think almost every country in Europe had a bent furniture factory at some point making Thonet style chairs. So, again, unless you have some kind of tag or mark it's very difficult to determine the maker. Irenka's chair is a bit more obscure, being tubular steel and an unusual design, but the one on Pamono was the only one I could find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
