The chair features a ladder-back with shaped horizontal slats, a slatted seat, and gracefully curved rockers, all assembled with early nails and pegged joinery. Original wire-rope side stabilizers secure the seat in the manner of early porch and reclining rockers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe proportions and construction indicate this piece was made either as a child’s rocker or as a scaled salesman’s sample demonstrating a full-size slat-back porch chair form.
