Antique Victorian Spindle Back Rocking chair .

We bring to you this charming example of a Victorian 19th century spindle back rocking chair in lovely condition with a wonderfully aged and rustic appearance. This rocking chair of moderate proportions is made from a combination of woods that contribute to its nice light colour and distinctive grain. The broad, deeply-dished, and comfortably-shaped seat is made of elm, showcasing a prominent and attractive grain pattern. The arms and the curving yoke at the top of the back are crafted from a fruitwood, which along with the rest of the chair's structure, provides a warm tone that complements the elm.
The chair's back is characterised by a series of straight, turned spindles set between the seat and the curved top rail. Supporting the arms are two pairs of beautifully turned baluster supports, which repeat the highly decorative turned pattern found on the four legs. These turned elements are a prominent feature, adding significant visual weight and antique charm to the piece.
Finally, the chair rocks on two curved ash rockers which provide a durable base for the rocking motion and contrasts slightly with the other grains. The overall impression is one of solid craftsmanship, comfort, and enduring farmhouse country style.

The chair is in strong condition with no joint movement or breaks and has been thoroughly checked over in our workshop.
We have cleaned and waxed this chair to protect and preserve the finish making this item completely ready for its new home.

Please note; This item is in fantastic condition for its age as shown by the photographs below. Being an antique item of this age there are obviously marks, scratches and dents, however, we feel that these points are which adds to its charm and character to a piece.
