Thonet
A bentwood chaise lounge with wonderful scroll work details and cane work supports. The base is stamped with a serial number and A. Gaiffe Paris, as well as his logo. Adolphe Gaiffe was a French inventor and manufacturer of electrical and therapeutic instruments. He operated from Paris, rue Saint Andre des Arts.
The chaise lounge bears his name as well as his logo, which you can see in the last photo taken from one of his catalogues. Although uncertain, it is likely Gaiffe distributed and sold Thonet's chaise lounge to his patients as a therapeutic device.
