About the Item
We are delighted to offer for sale this really quite lovely original circa 1820 Irish Famine rocking armchair in pine.
A good looking and exceptionally decorative armchair. All the timber is period correct and not replaced which is crazy for a 200+ year old piece.
We have lightly cleaned waxed and polished the piece, we were very careful not to remove any of the original patination.
