Thonet Freres : "rockingchair / Schaukelfauteuil" Circa 1900

Thonet Frères “Rocking Chair / Schaukelfauteuil” circa 1900, hot bent wood and cane 108 X 56 X 138 cm.
Since Patriarch Michael, who had the idea of industrially manufacturing thermoformed wood furniture, the Thonet Family produced countless pieces of furniture, the modularity of the elements making it possible to vary the models almost infinitely. Thus, this armchair derived from the large “man” model 7001 for the double volute of the backrest, presents the more modern two-circle base of the 7004.
Presented “in its own juice”, this seat has undisguised flaws: wear of the varnish , rear bar replaced by a chair bar, break in the hooping of the seat, small accidents to the caning.
But since it supports my 130 kg, it is very solid and perfect for lounging under the peony !

Well, that's it, a page is turned: after 11 years of occupation, we are leaving our official apartment in Biarritz. But Nature and I have a horror of emptiness, I let you imagine everything there was inside and the house where we group the move may be large, I will have to separate little by little of a certain number of objects, furniture and paintings… So, it is the case to say it, they are of an excellent origin! Do not hesitate to ask us for photos or additional information by email or phone. Other photos and many other objects in our stores in Pau and Biarritz and on our website: galerielhoste.com.
