Item Details

It rises on turned legs joined by a spindled, double-box stretcher and ending in rockers. The back of the top slat is stamped ‘5’.

• Please note, this is an item that may be especially difficult to move and/or transport. Unless shipping arrangements are available and made by the winning bidder, that individual is advised to bring appropriate assistance, vehicle, proper materials, and any necessary tools to pickup.

Condition

- scattered wear to finish, with a heavier concentration along lower edges of rockers; left mushroom cap handhold is loose and needs to be re-reglued; rope seat is probably later; other minor surface wear as would be expected.
