This stunning piece features a fluid, sinuous frame in solid steam-bent beech wood, enriched with classic geometric curl motifs on the sides and armrests.
The seat and backrest are made of authentic woven Vienna straw, ensuring comfort and a remarkable visual lightness.
A classic of mid-twentieth-century design, perfect for adding a warm, elegant, and bohemian touch to a living room, conservatory, or reading nook.
The chair is structurally sound, solid, and fully functional. The runners maintain the ideal curvature for a smooth, pleasant, and squeak-free rocking motion.
It features a beautiful original patina with minor, normal signs of age. The Vienna straw of the backrest and seat appears slightly dry but is completely stable, well-stretched, and solid, with minimal loose surface filaments that testify to its historical authenticity.
There is a small, localized, conservative retouching of the color on the terminal curve of one of the side curls (see detailed photo), perfectly integrated and visible only upon close inspection.
The rocking chair is ready for use. See less
