Description
This charming piece is a classic American ladder-back child’s rocking chair, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century. It features a traditional three-slat back design with elegant turned finials and a hand-woven rush (or seagrass) seat, showcasing the timeless appeal of Early American country styling. The warm, honey-toned wood appears to be maple or birch, a staple for durable domestic furniture of this era. Condition is good for its age, showing honest wear to the rockers, minor scuffs on the frame, and light fraying on the rush seat, particularly at the front edge. H 33", W 18", D 28". Please see photos for condition. Note: Pickup/ Transport required. Contacts available post auction.
