Shaker Style Ladder-Back Rocking Chair, Late 19th Century

Item Details

This charming late 19th-century American rocking chair is a classic example of provincial country furniture. The chair features a three-slat ladder-back design, with horizontal rails specifically curved for comfort, set between upright stiles topped with simple turned ball finials. The seat is hand-woven in a traditional herringbone splint pattern, a durable technique characteristic of rural craftsmanship. Supported by turned legs and double stretchers for stability, the chair sits on two gently curved wooden rockers. Its light finish highlights the natural grain of the wood, likely maple or birch, and displays a warm patina acquired through generations of use.
