Rocking Chair No. 5
Manufacturer: Thonet Brothers (founded ca. 1840) · Austria · ca. 1876
In 1830 the Austrian Michael Thonet began experimenting with bending wood, and by the 1840s, his bentwood furniture was receiving much attention and praise. His firm aimed their product at an international market, with promotional materials printed in German, French, and English. The firm displayed their furniture at the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876, where Walton Agnew bought this example.
