What is the value of a Thonet Bentwood Rocker

I have just inherited a cane (back and seat) bentwood rocking chair that my 87 year old father-in-law was rocked in as a child. Underneath the seat is stamped "THONET AUSTRIA"; it appears that there had been a metal plate of some sort on top of that. If this were a circa 1800's Thonet, what would it be worth?
