Description

In General
A beautiful, superb quality, rare, Arts and Crafts, mahogany Ladderback Rocking Chair by the renowned designer and furniture maker William Birch of High Wycombe and retailed through the famous Luxury London Department Store - Liberty & Co circa 1900.

Comprising wonderful ornate turned arm supports and stunning arm balustrades, influenced by the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic movements, the high back with very pretty acorn shaped finials and pronounced arm joints are also influenced by the stunning Shaker Rocking Chairs of the 19th Century. The high Ladderback are of the British Arts and Crafts style of rocking chairs and chairs of the time. This rocking chair has very attractive turned front legs and twin side stretchers. This Rocking Chair has small proportions so will comfortably fit into smaller interiors. Its modern Arts and Crafts design will work well in contemporary as well as period spaces.

This rocking chair is an unusual and fun piece of furniture whilst also representing a wonderful piece of Arts and Crafts design history! It is also a very attractive example of William Birch's work and is in excellent original condition.

The chair has an upholstered seat in a mid-blue velvet which is in useable condition. The cover can be removed as zipped. The seat cover has a stain to the underside. A new upholstered seat in say a Liberty or Arts and Crafts fabric perhaps will be needed.
