Add to cartMORE INFOVintage Stick Back Rocking Chair in Black
£160.00We bought this stunning rocking chair for it’s amazing design. It has a stick back style, reminiscent of Georgian and Victorian tall Windsor chairs. The design has then been carried through to the base, or skirt, of the chair. A very unusual but superbly striking design. There is no major age to the chair, nor markings to age it. We suspect it is late 1970’s or early 1980’s but we fell in love with the design and painted black finish. It is constructed form pine throughout making the chair light for its size.
It now offers a beautiful bedroom, hallway, or dress chair with great style and character.

112cm back height, 49cm seat height, 59cm Wide (arm to arm), 75cm Wide (widest pointat the front feet), max depth 100cm (Front of feet to rear)
