{"product_id":"antique-victorian-oak-platform-rocker-c-late-19th-century","title":"Antique Victorian Oak Platform Rocker c. Late 19th Century","description":"This really great Victorian oak platform rocker captures the ingenuity and comfort-driven design that defined late 19th century furniture. Unlike traditional rockers, the platform mechanism allows for a smooth, controlled motion while the base remains stationary—an innovation that made these chairs especially popular in their day. The form is both functional and decorative, with a tall, spindled back crowned by a nicely carved crest featuring scrollwork and a row of turned detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the finely turned spindles along the back and arms to the shaped supports and stretchers below. The round seat retains its woven cane, which adds both visual lightness and comfort, while the oak has a warm, inviting tone with a really nice grain that shows beautifully across the surfaces. The platform base, with its turned rollers and concealed spring mechanism, is a great example of the period’s mechanical ingenuity paired with traditional woodworking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rocker is in nice antique condition consistent with age and normal use. There is expected wear to the finish and some light signs of use throughout, including age-related marks that are typical for a piece of this era. The cane seat appears intact and serviceable. Overall, this is a really great chair with a lot of character—equally at home in a period setting or as a standout accent in a more modern space. 43h x 24w x 26d seat height 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocal delivery available for a fee or pick up Westfield MA \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease contact me prior to purchasing with delivery address if you would like the item shipped to you.
