Description

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.

Notable features:

- 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.
- Charming asymmetrical features, such as the slightly different shaped arms, reflecting its authentic workshop origins.
- Separate attached rockers in classic Victorian country style.

This sturdy rocking chair embodies the transition period between traditional handcraftsmanship and early industrial techniques. Its honest construction and functional design represents middle-class British domestic furniture of the period, making it both a practical seating piece and a tangible connection to Victorian-era daily life.

Perfect for period interiors, cottage settings or as a characterful addition to a more modern space, where it can be appreciated as a genuine historical piece.
