This exceptional vintage rocking chair is an authenticated replica of the iconic Kennedy Rocker, custom upholstered and crafted in 1977 by Lawrence J. Arata, White House staff upholsterer, and duplicated for Dr. Jack Baruch. Constructed in solid wood with a woven cane back, the rocker features rich brown leather upholstery on the seat, back, and padded armrests. A brass plaque affixed to the back certifies its provenance, noting it as an exact copy of the authentic upholstered President John F. Kennedy rocker, crafted by Arata and dated February 1977. This chair embodies mid-century American craftsmanship and presidential design history, making it equally compelling as a functional statement piece or a collectible conversation anchor. A rare opportunity to acquire a documented Kennedy-era replica with direct White House artisan lineage. ⸻ Details • Origin: United States • Date: 1977 • Maker: Lawrence J.
