    We owned two chairs of this model; here is the second and last.

    Chair No. 22, by Fiume-Chevallier, circa 1885/90. The Thonet No. 22, which served as the model for this "Fiume," is difficult to acquire because it was produced in small numbers: only 2,958 were made in 1885 (No. 4 to 5,582, No. 16 to 693, No. 14 to 341,968). Only Fischel produced a No. 22, which can be found in their catalog. (See attached image.)

    Chairs stamped "FIUME," "Charles Chevallier," or "CHEVALLIER" are occasionally found in Europe, sometimes with a label or stamp bearing the inscription "MOEBEL FABRIK-LANDESBANK."

    It appears that all these pieces come from the same manufacturer located in Fiume, the former name of Rijeka, a city on the Adriatic coast in present-day Croatia. Fiume, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was an important port for exports as it was Austria's only maritime access. Fiume's strategic port position on the Adriatic and Mediterranean had already been recognized by Napoleon. The District of Fiume in Croatian Civil was under French administration from 1810 to 1813, which could explain the use of a very French-sounding trade name (Charles Chevallier) some time later.

    The fine caning is recent, of the Feingeflecht type. The chair is in stable and solid original condition. Total height: 90 cm - seat height: 46.5 cm - seat dimensions: 41 x 44 cm. The chair has 120 holes for the caning.
