Description This appears to be an authentic bentwood rocker signed by Thonet and made in Poland. It may be made of beechwood. It has the letter and number "2Y" located on the back side of the seat. It also has a "2Y" on a supporting member and on the left-to right rear and front bottom straight spacing rods. There is a "2Y" on the back support piece. There is another piece that I think says "33" to the best I can decipher. The oval piece below the back support reads "D5." This piece appears to have the logo/name "Thonet" burnt into the wood, as well as the location of manufacture (Poland). There is dog-chewed damage on the ends of the rocker, but it is in otherwise fair condition.
