Armless rocking chair of maple and beech; three slat back. Red and brown tape seat. The chair has been refinished; the two front posts, which are beech, and the two front stretchers, which are maple, are brown rather than natural, as is the rest of the chair. The rocker blades are secured to the front posts by wooden pins and to the rear posts by wood screws.
