Brass Rocking Chair

Rocking chair that took its curves from a roller coaster and its cushions from a club.

This brass rocking chair dates to the 20th century. Brass is a copper and zinc alloy valued for its warm golden color and its resistance to corrosion, which suits it to furniture fittings and frames. Tufted seat and back in rich russet-red covering sit inside a frame of sweeping golden tubular loops that double as rockers. Slim arms end in black grips. Buttoned diamonds cover the cushion, and the finish is smooth and warm. It is 27 inches long, 40 deep and 37 high.

Rocks in style, and sits in comfort.
