Description from the seller
Vintage Bentwood Rocking Chair with Vienna Cane – 20th Century
Elegant 20th-century vintage rocking chair, made of steam-bent wood and characterized by a highly decorative and sculptural design. Its flowing lines recall the great Central European tradition of bentwood furniture, with graceful curved elements and decorative spiral details.

The base is formed by large curved rockers, allowing the chair to move smoothly, while the spiral-shaped elements add an original decorative character.
The seat is completed by a removable upholstered cushion covered in warm brown fabric.
