Description

Mission Style Solid Wood Rocking Chair – Arts & Crafts Design

Mission-style solid wood rocking chair crafted in the Arts & Crafts tradition, featuring vertical slat sides and back with exposed joinery details. The chair’s warm medium-brown finish highlights its rectilinear frame and flat armrests, emblematic of early 20th-century craftsmanship influenced by makers such as Stickley. The woven neutral upholstered seat complements the natural tones of the wood, creating a timeless and functional design.

This piece reflects the enduring appeal of Mission furniture—valued for its honest materials and simplicity of form. Examples of similar Mission rockers, both antique and mid-century reproductions, appear across design markets, ranging widely in value depending on maker, finish, and condition. A handsome and sturdy chair ideal for a Craftsman-style interior or reading nook.

Condition:

Good to fair condition. Structurally sound with scattered finish wear, loss, and minor imperfections throughout. Several wooden joinery plugs are missing. Wear is visible along the armrests and edges, consistent with age and use. Presents well overall, with an attractive patina despite surface wear.
