This Vienna Secession bentwood rocking chair, originating from around 1900, is attributed to Jacob and Josef Kohn and designed by Gustav Siegel. Formed from beech, bentwood, and plywood, the chair is finished in a dark brown colour and is in very good used condition with minimal wear and tear. Distinctive design details include steam-bent runners, sweeping loop armrests, and an upright slat backrest topped by a decorative geometric cut-out panel. The shaped wooden seat provides a comfortable resting place. Dimensions are 105 cm high, 53 cm wide, and 91 cm deep, or alternatively 41 inches high, 21 inches wide, and 36 inches deep. In a modern interior, this piece serves as a functional and decorative armchair suited for placement in a living room, a study, or a bedroom. The flowing structural lines and classic dark finish integrate smoothly into both traditional and contemporary settings. It offers a practical seating option while introducing Arts and Crafts and Secessionist character to domestic spaces.

FAQs

Vienna Secession bentwood furniture combines steam-bent timber frames with geometric cut-outs and minimalist linear patterns, moving away from ornate Victorian styles towards early modernism.

These chairs were primarily constructed from solid beechwood, which was softened using high-pressure steam before being bent into tight curves using iron moulds.

Authentic pieces often feature paper manufacturer labels or impressed factory stamps under the seat frame, alongside characteristic steam-bent wooden runners and period-specific joinery.

The sculptural silhouette of a bentwood rocker makes it an ideal accent piece for living rooms, reading nooks, or bedrooms when contrasted against contemporary soft furnishings.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, clean with a damp cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to maintain the original patinated finish.
