Description

Rocking chair without rocker blades. Chair is painted, so wood identification is difficult; possibly maple or birch posts, at least one ash stretcher, and three back slats probably of maple. Hickory splint seat. Appears to have very early Mount Lebanon pommels. Chair painted dark green with dark red accents and yellow or gold decorative stripes; this paint scheme appears to be over a previous coat of light green paint.
