Very possibly by William Birch for Liberty of London & most likely made around 1900, this outstanding rush seat ladder-back rocking chair encompasses fabulously detailed design elements & will add stunning bygone finery & quality craftsmanship to any interior. Crafted from beautifully hued mahogany with fruitwood stretchers, this stunning rocking chair is a breath-taking blend of designs, which were merging around the turn of the 20th Century. The wonderful, ornate turned arm supports & fabulous arm balustrades nod towards the Art Nouveau & Aesthetic movements, the high back with acorn-shaped finials & pronounced arm joints are strongly influenced by the superb Shaker rocking chairs of the 19th Century, & the gorgeous & superb quality rush seat & shapely ladderback are of the classic British Arts & Crafts style of rocking chairs of the period. These late 19th century influences blend together beautifully & make this an extremely rare, attractive & remarkable antique rocking chair, very similar to others we’ve seen by William Birch for the Liberty luxury store, & possibly even more outstanding & special for its wonderful detailing & marvellous blend of styles. CONDITION This is in excellent condition, especially for its age. Structurally sound & in remarkable original condition, this has been extremely well cared for. The rush seat is in wonderful condition & the only very minor flaws are the to-be-expected marks & blemishes, which if anything only enhance its striking antique beauty. Overall this is a superb & strikingly beautiful antique rocking chair in remarkable condition - please see the photos.
