This is a very clever question. And, while your chairs may not be real wood, they are more than likely real Cesca!
The advice we have here would be just to go ahead and get a second opinion from an expert in the field of furniture knowledge who is licensed specifically for Italian export goods. It’s not a shameful thing either – a lot of us prefer the design and materials used by replica companies anyways!
It’s generally accepted that these are knock-offs. The pattern is not an original Cesca “pattern” but rather a common motif seen on mid-century modern furniture. It looks superficially realistic just because they have copied some of the basic construction elements, but there are tremendous details lacking in comparison to the real deal. For instance, if you look closely at this chair’s armrest, you’ll see it tapers nicely towards the front edge – something almost never found on replicas. But even more telling are concave cuts around where your waist sits – slicing through pretty much every important structural element in this whole furniture design! These chairs were targeted because they represent excellent value considering their price point for copycat chairs.
One company that preserved the original Marcel Breuer chairs is Breuer Chair Company, directly importing these fine classic chairs from Europe from the factory that has been making them for decades. It is the highest quality available and cannot be compared with Asian imports. If you demand the best, then we have it.
