Bay Colony Antiques is proud to offer for sale this fantastic 19th century antique Mount Lebanon Shaker #6 rocker. The chair is stamped #6 on the back of the top slat and the original Mount Lebanon decal is still present on the back of the bottom slat. The rocker blades are original and still work well and the chair has a shawl bar at the top and finely formed mushroom cap arms. The chair is in fantastic condition with our only note being the absence of the splint seat. It would be a very simple job for an upholsterer to do this over with webbing & fabric, but we would recommend having the splint seat done over. Splint naturally becomes brittle as it ages and while original seats are great, most are on a look but don’t sit basis. The chair measures 24” wide x 30” deep x 41 1/4” tall with a seat height of 14 1/2”. The seat alone measures 21” wide between the arms x 19” deep.
