Chaise longue cannée en bois courbé peint en noir, attribuée à Thonet

Sous l'assise, le bois se laisse aller : de grandes spirales, des crosses et des S s'enroulent librement, comme tracés d'un seul trait. Au-dessus, la ligne se fait calme. Un long cannage blond, tendu dans un cadre peint en noir, monte du repose-jambes jusqu'au dossier arrondi, que flanquent deux accoudoirs en volute. Le noir, légèrement usé sur les arêtes, fait ressortir la trame dorée du cannage. Deux petites roulettes, à l'extrémité des pieds, permettent de déplacer le siège. Tout, ici, est courbe.

Gebrüder Thonet est fondée à Vienne en 1853 par Michael Thonet et ses cinq fils ; l'usine de Koritschan ouvre en 1857. La chaise n°14, lancée en 1859 en hêtre cintré à la vapeur et cannée, dépasse les cinquante millions d'exemplaires vendus en 1930. La maison a aussi produit des chaises longues cannées en hêtre courbé à dossier réglable : Bonhams date d'environ 1890 un modèle numéro 9702. La galerie attribue celle-ci à Thonet et la date vers 1920, sans marque ni numéro signalés ; la fiche la range dans l'Art nouveau.

Beneath the seat the wood lets itself go: great spirals, crooks and S-curves wind freely, as if drawn in a single stroke. Above, the line grows calm. A long sweep of blond caning, stretched within a black-painted frame, rises from the leg rest to the rounded back, flanked by two scrolled arms. The black, lightly worn along the edges, sets off the golden weave of the cane. Two small castors at the foot end allow the chair to be moved. Everything here is a curve.

Gebrüder Thonet was founded in Vienna in 1853 by Michael Thonet and his five sons; the Koritschan factory opened in 1857. The No. 14 chair, launched in 1859 in steam-bent, caned beech, passed fifty million copies sold by 1930. The house also produced caned bentwood chaises longues with adjustable backs: Bonhams dates a model numbered 9702 to about 1890. The gallery attributes this one to Thonet and dates it to around 1920, with no mark or number reported; the listing files it under Art Nouveau.
