Hello,

I'm quite new in this world. I recently acquired this chair which looks a lot like a thonet s64. It has no labels or imprints anywhere. So it's probably a knockoff. Please take a look at the photos so I can be sure

Thanks in advance for your trouble

This is a look alike. The caning should be woven on the frame not inserted pre woven cane, the front of the seat should not be straight/ flat, it should have a subtle curve that follows the radius of the chrome frame & no metal end caps, it should be welded & polished. The sled part parallel to the arms of the real versions do not be completely flat on the floor.

Sometimes the flat part of the seat in other look alikes protrudes out too much almost stabbing the back side of the sitters knee making the real ones look bad.
