The chair
was originally produced in 1925 by Gebruder Thonet, Frankenburg, Germany. Gavina started to produce it in 1962, and then it gets murky.
I can't even begin to imagine that a vintage 1920's original chair is worth....probably museum quality prices.
And i don't even know how to tell the original, anyhow.
