An English hoop-back Windsor rocking chair in ash.
The chamfered bell-shaped slab seat is raised on four plain 'blind-wedged' legs.
Well figured timber has been selected for the rockers with remnants of green paint visible on the underside of the seat.
Small wooden pegs and nails have been driven through the arm bow, back bow and seat to secure the sticks - a feature uncommon in Windsor chairs.
An almost identical example - with a Lancaster provenance from the workshop of Gillow's chairmaker, James Wilcock - is recorded in the Regional Furniture Society article:
"More About Gillows’ Windsor & Common Chairs” - Susan Stuart.
English - c.1800
H: 90cm / W: 54cm / D: 39cm
SOLD.
