Vintage Mid-Century Modern Rattan Children’s Rocking Chair, France, 1950s

About the Item

Discover the charm and nostalgia of mid-century design with this vintage French rattan children’s rocking chair, dating to the 1950s. Handcrafted with gracefully curved bentwood and tightly bound rattan weaving, this petite rocker exudes warmth, whimsy, and artisan craftsmanship. Its sculptural, airy silhouette is both functional and decorative, making it an ideal heirloom-quality accent for a child’s nursery, bohemian playroom, or as a statement piece in a stylish vignette. The natural patina and honey-toned finish speak to decades of gentle use and timeless appeal. This rare mid-century modern kids’ rocker echoes the iconic design language of Franco Albini and the French Riviera’s relaxed, coastal aesthetic. Its lightweight frame allows for effortless mobility while remaining sturdy and supportive. Condition: Very good vintage condition. Minor signs of wear and age-appropriate patina enhance its character. Structurally sound and ready for use. Dimensions: 15" Wide 24.75" Deep 20.5" Tall 12.5" Tall Seat 17" Tal Arms

Early Panorama Children’s Book Hiawatha Illustrated by Willy Pogany London 1914
By Willy Pogany
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
Antique panorama children’s book illustrated by Willy Pogany and retold by Edith L Elias. A total of 14 panels, one side with illustrations, and the other with text. Published by George G. Harrap & Company. This book is part of a children’s series by Willy Pogány of folding panoramas illustrations and text, inspired by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1855 epic, The Song of Hiawatha. Lines from Longfellow run underneath Pogány’s illustrations, which follow the Ojibwe child Hiawatha from his early kinship with the wild animals, through his struggles with Nahma, King of Fishes, and his own estranged father, Mudjekeewis, up to his courtship of Laughing Water (Minnehaha). The prose text by Edith Elias, printed on the verso of the panorama, carries Hiawatha’s story farther, through the death of Minnehaha and the coming of “the Pale-Face Chief.” Pogány’s dynamic frames, with their striking use of negative space, show the influence not only of Golden Age illustrators like Walter Crane, but also the new generation of cartoonists like Winsor McCay...
