Late 19C English Oak Spindle-back Ball Finial Rocker
About the Item
PRESENTING A LOVELY & RARE Late 19C English Oak Spindle-back Ball Finial Rocker.
Probably made in England or Scotland, circa 1880-90.
Made of oak with glorious naturally aged patina.
Turned supports, turned arm rests.
The back splat consists of 3 central spindle sections, separated by a support and each spindle ends in a ball finial on top.
The main back side pillars end in a turned acorn type finial with ball top.
The armrests are serpentine in shape, with spindle side supports, turned front pillars and end with turned round button moldings/medallions.
The base consists of a rocker base with support pillars, the front facing pillars and supports, each being turned.
We initially thought this was an American rocker, but most American rockers were made from pine, walnut, maple etc. and not normally, oak. Although, many Boston Rockers were in fact made of oak, but the style of this one is not like most Boston ones and certainly not the ball finial top section, as most Boston one’s had a solid carved top section often painted with floral motifs.
Oak was the most common wood used in British provincial furniture at that time and with the history of the ‘family ownership’ being based in Canada, with strong roots in both Scotland and England, leads us to believe that this is either an English or Scottish piece.
THIS IS A RARE ROCKER!
