Antique Thonet Rocking Chair No. 825 – Vienna, Late 19th Century

Elegant Thonet rocking chair, Model No. 825, made of steam-bent wood, with a seat and backrest woven from Viennese straw.

A splendid example of the famous Viennese production by Gebrüder Thonet, characterized by a sinuous frame with refined curved armrests, elaborate side scrolls, and continuous glides.

This model, documented around 1890, represents one of the most fascinating expressions of the bentwood technique developed by the historic Austrian manufacturer.

Of particular interest is the presence of the original antique Thonet Wien paper label, still preserved beneath the seat, and the metal plaque from the Turin representative and distributor E. Alloggi di L. Sacco, Via Maria Vittoria 16—evidence of the brand’s historical distribution in Turin.

A truly captivating piece that combines the history of European design with the artisanal quality of Thonet’s craftsmanship, ideal for collectors and lovers of historic furniture.
