Antique Victorian Walnut Platform Rocking Chair

This item is an antique Victorian Eastlake-style platform rocking chair, typically dating from the late 19th century (circa 1880–1890s). Unlike traditional rocking chairs with long curved runners, a platform rocker features a stationary base with a spring-coil mechanism that allows the seat itself to rock back and forth smoothly. This style is characterized by the Eastlake movement, visible here through the incised geometric wood carvings on the top crest rail and the straight, square-like architectural lines of the armrests. It features vibrant mustard/gold velvet upholstery accented with a decorative fringe across the front apron. Pick up only at 471 jevlan drive unit 7 Woodbridge.
