Victorian Eastlake Oak Rocking Chair – Carved Crest, Needlepoint Seat
This late Victorian Eastlake-style oak rocking chair dates to circa 1880–1900 and showcases the refined craftsmanship of the era. The tall crest rail features intricate spoon-carved scrollwork framing a central monogram motif, a hallmark of the Eastlake design movement. Gracefully turned spindles support the back and arms, while the solid oak frame displays a rich, warm patina. The seat is upholstered in a burgundy floral needlepoint panel with decorative nailhead trim, adding a soft touch to its sturdy form.
Likely crafted in the northeastern United States, this rocker reflects the geometric ornamentation and fine joinery prized by Eastlake furniture collectors. It serves as both a functional seating option and an elegant decorative piece, ideal for a reading nook, parlor, or period-inspired interior.
Condition:
Good antique condition with areas of natural wear from age; no remarkable damage. The oak retains a warm, even finish, and the needlepoint seat remains vibrant with some minor wear. Solid and stable, ready for display or gentle use.
Dimensions:
Overall: 39.75" H × 28.75" W × 32" D
