Large Sam Maloof Style Fruitwood Sculptural Rocking Chair

About the Item

Sam Maloof was an American furniture designer, known for his trademark sculptural style and utilization of the utmost quality in materials. He was a prolific designer, with works still showcased in galleries and museum across the country, but perhaps his most iconic design is his rocking chair. Jimmy Carter once referred to him as his "woodworking hero." Characterized by its dramatic lines and highly sculptural form, Maloof’s rocking chairs are a masterclass in woodwork, and an original Maloof rocker commands a high premium in the modern furniture market. This example was made in Germany in the 1980s, by a designer who wanted to capture the quality and essence of Maloof’s craftsmanship. This piece is in immaculate condition, featuring sculptural lines and a dramatic form, it is sure to stand out in any space.
