[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9576349, member: 2844"]Thonet had furniture made in different parts of the Austro-Hungarian empire. As a result, Thonet style furniture has been made in South Slavia, Hungary and Slovakia ever since the days of Thonet. I have a similar rocking chair from Hungary, brought over in parts by a Hungarian WW I refugee who fled to the Netherlands by train. The Netherlands was neutral during WW I, and a safe haven for refugees. My chair is dear to me too. Not just because of the beautiful style, but also because it was such a precious possession of the Hungarian refugee, her only memory of her home country.[/QUOTE]
