An Antique Bentwood Rocking Chair (Circa 1900 - 1920)

1900 - 1920
Sold by Culvertons
Description

This lovely antique bentwood rocking chair is very reminiscent of a design first patented by Michael Thonet in the 1860s. He created the first bentwood rocking chair by steaming pieces of wood to effectively shape the rocking chair's rocker into its graceful swoop. However, this upholstered example was made between 1900 - 1930. It is in lovely condition. The frame retains a good depth of colour and an attractive patina, indicating that this chair has been carefully looked after throughout its life. The kilim style fabric compliments the frame, is very clean and in excellent condition. "I am 6'2" tall, I have tested this chair, and found it to be well-designed, safe, and comfortable." - unlike many antique rocking chairs, this example does not, if used normally, allow the user to rock back too far.

Dealers Notes

Whenever possible Culvertons undertake the carriage of items within London and the home counties. Professional, competitive and trusted couriers and shipping companies are engaged for deliveries for the remainder of our customers. Smaller items, when instructed, will be carefully parcelled and securely sent by the carrier.

We strive to accurately describe and illustrate our stock on the 'Selling Antiques' website. However, we understand that it is not always possible to judge from photographs how an item will look in the home or garden. For this reason, if notified within seven days from the date of delivery we offer a full refund (less any agreed carriage costs) once the item has been returned in the same condition as it left our premises.
