Vintage Windsor-Style White Rocking Chair

Chairish

$444

White lacquered rocking chair in the Windsor style, dating from the mid-20th century. The high-backed design, with its slender spindles and curved armrests, creates a clearly defined, light-feeling silhouette. The color of the rocking chair can be customized upon request. Historical Context: Since the 19th century, rocking chairs have primarily served as a means of quiet seating in living rooms, porches, or bedrooms and were particularly widespread in middle-class interiors. Designs featuring spindle backs and curved rockers draw on traditional English and North American models. Features: - High-set backrest with fan-shaped round slats - Curved armrests with rolled ends and a glide-based rocking mechanism Design: The design is inspired by Windsor forms, though it cannot be definitively identified as a historical original. Distinctive features include the openwork backrest, the slight tapering of the slats, the turned sections in the lower area, and the harmonious combination of a wide headrest, a flat seat shell, and widely flared runners. Function: In the past: a portable armchair for living rooms and quiet spaces. Today: a rocking chair for the living room, children’s room, or reading nook, or as a striking statement piece in bright, rustic, or minimalist interiors. Dimensions in cm: Height 113, seat height 50, width 70, depth 105 Material and condition: Wood, white lacquered. Used condition with visible lacquer marks, dents, and scuffs on edges and runners.
