thonet chairs
well, the site on eBay that is selling Thonet chairs responded that they are from the 1970's. They are labeled. They are the cousins of the one's I scored. The angles and the depth of the seat seem right.
So I do think they are thonet and those attributed by other dealers appear to probably be so. Interesting
Will try to remember to get a pick of the ladderback chair today. V. Curious what people think it might be
My purchase two weeks ago
at a second hand store in Aigle, Switzerland. A coffee table by Raymonde Le Duc from the Vallauris poterie region of southeastern France. I think the zodiac design is more rare than his botanical/leaf designs, but, regardless, it looks lovely in my TV room. Purchase price--88 franc/88 USD.

@Heath
The stretcher that holds the base to the top has two outside screws and a single hidden dowel in the middle. The entire base however is mortised together with the two long stretchers also having allen bolts and connectors in the ends. There are 26 mortise joints total! The base is rock solid as a result, and is probably why the connection to the top is simplified. There is no movement in the base at all so the top connection is minimal. Quite smart actually.
The other posted pictures are from the end table I think, not the coffee table with the slat shelf.
