Italian Thonet Specialist: La Stanza del Re.

Thonet Rocking Chair 3

Thonet Rocking Chair no 3. Almost a baroque one!

La Stanza del Re. is an antique dealer based in Milan, Italy. He specializes in Thonet and other 19th century – beginning of 20th century bentwood chairs.

This brings the Thonet specialists featured here to three. The other two being Basel, Switzerland, based Dieter Staedli and Paris, France, based Manuel Guillaume of Au bon Usage

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…

The Stingray was featured in a Blog with an amusing name More Ways To Waste Time in a post House Voyeur Simple and Serene

If I had to point to the single most expensive piece of furniture in our home, that was bought entirely because we were giving ourselves a present, it would have to be our Stingray rocking chair. It was designed by Thomas Pedersen and produced by Fredericia Furniture in Denmark. In fact, the chair was Pedersen’s final project in design school and because the school had no facilities for fiberglass molding, he made the prototype in the school’s parking lot.

Verdict
The chair doesn’t sit as easy as it looks!
