Primitive American Rocking Chair

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.
