Description :

A charming 19th century American folk art rocking chair featuring a hand-decorated stenciled surface with stylized grapes, leaves, and traditional fruit motifs. Executed on a black painted ground with red striping, this example reflects the influence of Pennsylvania German decorative traditions.


Constructed with a shaped crest rail, spindle back, and solid plank seat, the chair retains a beautifully time-worn surface with visible brushwork and original character throughout. The elongated rockers and proportions indicate an adult form, intended for everyday domestic use in a country interior.


A highly decorative and authentic piece of early American painted furniture—ideal for collectors of folk art or as a statement accent in a layered interior.


Dimensions : 18 in W x 36 in H
