Antique Hickory Stick Rocking Chair

Fans and followers of Gotcha Modern! know that while most much of our focus is on mid-century furniture and decorative items, we often will feature items from other design periods and styles.  Good design knows no time and place!

So it is with this fantastic antique hickory stick rocking chair.  An ingenious design consisting of just two basic elements: natural hickory and steel (as in nails).  Simple and elegant, and not just in a rustic sense.  Like to combine period styles in your decor?  This chair screams to be part of the show.  And if you have a cabin in the north woods?  Here is the piece de resistance.

Manufactured by Old Grand Pappy Greggs of Alum Bank, Pennsylvania - a company likely long out of business.  The chair is of excellent quality - outstanding craftsmanship throughout. It's very comfortable, and is extremely solid and sturdy.  This is a piece of furntiure you'll pass down to your children or grandchildren!

The chair is in fantastic, almost new condition - yet retains a lovely old patina. It obviously was not used much. Excellent quality and outstanding craftsmanship throughout.

44" high, 32" deep, 22" wide.

SOLD.  Thanks, Jen @ Galena, Illinois!
