A good example of a small antique farmhouse rocking chair dating from the late 19th century. It has a shaped elm seat with low curved arms and lathe spindles. It stands on turned legs joined by a H-shaped stretcher and it sits on long shaped tapering rockers.
It is in good original condition and is strong and sturdy. There are signs of age and use, some marks and light knocks around the legs and some surface marks on the seat but nothing detrimental. It has developed a wonderful rich patina and the old stain has worn attractively on the arms and seat. There are signs of historic worm here and there which has all been treated as a precaution and hasn't affected the chair structurally or aesthetically. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
The chair stands approximately 35" (89cm) high and 18" (46cm) wide. The rockers are 26" (66cm) long. The seat is approximately 16" (41cm) high and 15 1/2" (39cm) deep.
