Update:

Commenter Geert Vanhoutte kindly informed us:

Sadly enough the owner of the shop “La stanza del Re” in Milan has closed his shop and sold all his pieces. There’s another antique store specialized in Thonet that is not mentioned here: Ulrich Fries, Bleibtreustrasse 53, 10623 Berlin. He’s been selling antique Thonet furniture for many decades and has the largest stock in the world I think. Well worth a visit ! It’s a pity he doesn’t have a website. There’s also an antique store in Vienna “City-Antik”, but they are only selling over-restored (ruïned) pieces at overrated prices…

  1. Hi,

    I am looking for a Thonet bentwood rocking chair 1910-20. Would you have such a thing available? Do you know where I might find one?

    Thankyou
