Description
A good example of an early American rocking chair dating from the beginning of the 19th Century. It is a primitive ladderback design with two shaped splats. It stands on square legs joined by turned stretchers that sit on long shaped rockers. It retains its original woven hickory splint seat and original red painted finish which has worn attractively over the years to create a wonderful patina. The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
measurements
It is a small size, either for a small adult or large child! The chair stands approximately 34 1/4" (87cm) high. The rockers are 26" (66cm) long and 18 1/2" (47cm) wide.
declaration
In a Nutshell Antiques & Interiors Ltd has clarified that the Primitive American Rocking Chair (LA531752) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c.1820
condition
It is in good original condition and is strong and sturdy with no signs of worm. There are of course signs of age and use, some marks and light knocks and wear to the paint but no major damages or anything detrimental. The original seat is showing signs of wear and there are some breaks to some of the strips (see photo) but overall it displays well.
