ANTIQUE VICTORIAN LEATHER ROCKING CHAIR
I AM TOLD IT IS AT LEAST VICTORIAN MAYBE EVEN OLDER
HERE WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF REALLY OLD FURNITURE.
REMOVED FROM THE LOFT OF A BARN ATTACHED TO A VERY OLD BUILDING.
THIS ROCKING CHAIR NEEDS SOME MINOR RESTORATION TO BRING IT BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY.
THE MAIN SECTIONS OF THIS GREAT OLD CHAIR ARE ALL TURNED WOOD MADE UP OF LIKE SPOKES.
FROM THE TOP OF THE BACK OF THE CHAIR TO THE FLOOR MEASURES APPROX 41" THE ROCKERS MEASURE 28.5" AND THE MEASUREMENT FROM THE FLOOR TO THE BASE OF THE SEAT IS 18.5".
THERE HAS BEEN SOME SUGGESTION MADE THAT THIS COULD EITHER BE FRENCH, ITALIAN OR ENGLISH. I HOWEVER WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU TO DECIDE ITS ORIGIN AND ITS EXACT AGE.
THE SEAT SECTION, THE BACK SECTION AND THE BACK OF THE CHAIR ARE WHAT FEELS LIKE LEATHER AND ARE STUDDED ON WITH BRASS STUDS AND ON THE WHOLE APART FROM THE ODD DINT THERE ARE NO TEARS OR SPLITS IN ANY OF IT.
OK WHAT NEEDS MENDING THEN ? IT NEEDS RE VANISHING OR WAXING WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO DO AND AT SOME POINT SOMEBODY LOOKS TO HAVE SAT BACK TO HARD AND TWO OF THE TURNED PINS HAVE SNAPPED AND WILL NEED REPLACING (I HAVE TOOK CLOSE UP PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE THIS) I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE A BIG JOB BUT YOU COULD NOT LEAN BACK ON IT UNTIL IT HAS BEEN DONE.
GENERALLY IT NEEDS A GOOD TIDY UP AND A NEW HOME, SOMEWHERE IT CAN BE LOVED ONCE MORE, MAYBE IN FRONT OF AN OPEN FIRE IN AN OLD PROPERTY.
