Rare & Primitive circa 1820 Irish Famine Rocking Armchair Original Timber

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. Dimensions Height:- 66cm Width:- 55cm Depth:- 62.5cm Seat height:- 35.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition. Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend annual waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
