Lot 813: Late Victorian Stained Hardwood Platform Rocking Chair in the Eastlake Style
A late Victorian platform rocking chair, circa 1890-1910, featuring design elements associated with the Eastlake style. The frame is constructed from a dark-stained hardwood and features a high back with a central rectangular upholstered panel flanked by turned spindles. The curved armrests are supported by further turned spindles and include small upholstered pads. The chair is upholstered in a light-coloured patterned damask fabric, finished with decorative brass-headed studs over a green fabric trim. The seat is mounted on a stationary platform base with an integrated spring-loaded rocking mechanism. No maker marks, stamps, or labels are visible on the wooden frame. A handwritten paper sign and an auction lot tag from Liskeard Auction Rooms are attached to the reverse.
Condition report:
