A classic rocking chair
In the living room, gracefulness and warmth. Simple elegance.
Delicate, decorative, and beautiful. Sweeping arcs and curves.
Movement and airiness, lightweight.
Bentwood beech with woven cane seat and back.
Designed by Austrian designer Michael Thonet in 1862.
Purchased in a junk store for $50. Clearly the sellers didn't know what they had! While there are many knock offs, this one is the real deal.
