Antique beechwood rocking chair with embossed decoration
Both the plywood backrest and the seat feature a beautiful, finely detailed embossed design with an elegant shell and fan motif
The chair is finished with elegantly curved armrests and characteristic turned wooden slats
Rather than being hand-carved, this elegant fan and shell motif was pressed into the wood by machine under high pressure and heat. This technique became very popular around the turn of the century as it made the luxurious appearance of fine carving accessible to a wider audience
Minor age-related wear adds to its character
English craftsmanship from the early 20th century
