<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark737, post: 4160314, member: 14894&quot;]Drevounia, as far as I can gather, was an import/export firm, not a manufacturer.&nbsp; My assumption is the chairs were made by TON, the current name of the Czech bentwood furniture company started by Michael Thonet in 1861 and nationalized after WW2. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had a set of Polish-made Thonet-style chairs and was quoted $200 (Central Texas) to re-cane one seat.&nbsp; These were hand-woven seats, not the pre-woven, press-in cane type.&nbsp; And they had a 6-month waiting list at the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>This style of chair, Thonet model #18, has been mass produced by a number of companies over the past 150 years, and therefore are not particularly valuable.&nbsp; If you want a set with cane seats, you can likely find them at auction for the price of re-caning one chair.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
