to work through my stash of projects, I finally decided to empty my brain of the plans I had to create a unique piece. Enter in this vintage Bentwood shabby chic rocking chair.

And, of course, it needed to be filled with some sort of shabby type design. chair cover hire port stephensSince I hadn’t done a shabby piece in a while (I’ve been a modern vibe for a bit), I thought now was the perfect time.  v1 gaming chair for saleEspecially because our weather is lacking and I’m suffering from cabin fever!!giant deck chairs for hire Just picture me on my desk chair next to the rocker, half-kinked over trying to reach the back with needle and yarn.  party chair hire joondalup

In 1830,Thonet experimented with ways to steam and bend beechwood from the local forests into curved and sturdy, graceful chairs. By 1853, he had opened his own shop, Gebruder Thonet, and by 1860 was producing bentwood rocking chairs with woven cane seats and backs. Thonet's innovations included the first, affordable, factory-produced, assembly-line chairs that could be shipped in pieces and easily assembled.tub chairs for sale port elizabeth The Prototype The Schaukel-Fauteuil No. 1 is the first bent beechwood, solid cane-woven rocker, created by Michael Thonet in 1860 in Koritschan, Moravia. The early rockers were stained dark -- either black, hazelnut or mahogany, in contrast to the lighter woven cane seats and backs. The rockers curve around the side of the seat, round over the front and sweep into an open, slightly upturned end, finished with a small scroll. The sinuous arms and spiraling front legs and seat supports taper at the tips into nearly closed curved hooks.

Sales of the first bentwood rockers were slow, but, as the style gradually caught on, Thonet added tufted upholstered seats and backs and changed the configuration of the curving wood. Evolving Styles The basic design remains unchanged, but slight variations in style over the years point to various dates of manufacture. The Thonet museum displays an 1880 rocker with simple, unembellished curved arms, a side support under the seat that starts as a front spiral and ends in the back as a deep U with a slight curved tail. The rockers are an unbroken curve of wood in font, ending in a slightly up-curved, plain tip in back. An 1883 reclining rocker was all closed curves with a continuous cane lounge seat. The back rockers curve completely around and the shorter arms are low and have a wide bentwood overlay. A 1904 rocker, with an upright seat, featured elaborate scrolls on both sides, plain curved rockers, and higher two-piece arms. The changing styles help to identify the period in which a Thonet rocker was produced.

Markings and Authentication The rockers were "signed" in several ways. Some chairs were stamped on the seat frame or somewhere on the underside of the chair. Others had a glued label in one of those unobtrusive spots. The labels are obviously fragile and may not have survived, so the absence of either the stamp or label is not conclusive proof that your Thonet rocker isn't genuine. The Thonet company will try to identify a real Thonet for you from photographs of your chair, and you can contact them through their website to arrange for an evaluation. Limited-Edition Rockers In 2009, Gebruder Thonet issued a limited edition of the original Thonet bentwood rocker. Only 25 of the collector's-edition rockers were made, each in stained beechwood, in a choice of mahogany, black or hazelnut stain with the trademark woven cane seat and back. Each piece was numbered and came with a hand-signed certificate of authenticity, so identifying the 190th anniversary Thonet rockers involves little guesswork.
