About the Item

A beautifully sculptural bentwood rocking chair, circa 1970s, crafted in the Thonet tradition of elegant curves and artisanal craftsmanship. The frame, composed of steam-bent hardwood in a warm honey finish, flows in continuous, organic arcs that convey both strength and fluidity—an enduring hallmark of bentwood design. The woven cane seat and back introduce a sense of lightness and texture, contrasting beautifully with the wood’s rich tone. The caning is original and fully intact, offering comfort, breathability, and visual depth. The rocker’s sweeping runners ensure smooth, balanced motion—graceful in movement, sculptural at rest. Surfaces have been professionally cleaned and refinished, enhancing the natural patina while preserving vintage character. Structurally sound and visually striking, this piece stands in very good condition with only minimal, age-appropriate wear. Ideal as a statement accent in a reading corner, nursery, or sunroom, this rocker unites form and function—equally compelling as a work of design and an object of comfort. A refined example of 20th-century craftsmanship, it embodies the timeless appeal of Thonet-inspired modernism. Dimensions: 21″ W × 35″ D × 39.5″ H (18.5″ seat height) Condition: Very good vintage condition; caning intact; minor touch-ups to finish consistent with age.
