This handcrafted Victorian-era rocking chair represents genuine British provincial craftsmanship from the late 19th century. Featuring traditional mixed-wood construction, this chair showcases the practical ingenuity of period woodworkers.

- Hand-carved contoured oak seat for comfort and durability.
- Distinctive combination of hand-forged and early machine-made iron supports.
- A beech slatted back and traditional mortise and tenon joinery throughout.
