Move a bit of American history into your living room. A quintessentially American object, the rocking chair has been around only about as long as this country has, and rocking chairs came to symbolize the practical and inventive spirit of the new land.
By the nineteenth century, rocking chairs had become a fixture on American porches, in parlors, even in the homes of Presidents. John Adams's house in Quincy, Massachusetts, prominently displayed two rockers. So fully occupied with the cares of the Nation, Abraham Lincoln treasured the moments when he could take off his boots and relax in a favorite White House rocking chair.
Famous portraits of Abe Lincoln show his preference for this style of rocker, and the name stuck.
The comfortable and stylish "Rococo Revival" Lincoln Rocker is skillfully crafted from solid, premium-grade mahogany, given a hand-rubbed finish to endure, and expertly padded and upholstered in historically-accurate burgundy fabric. The timeless piece, with high headrest, gentle lumbar curve, scrolled arms and fluid, sculptural lines is so well balanced that it rocks more easily than a far less substantial piece of furniture. True to the smallest detail of the original, our heirloom-quality Lincoln Rocker measures 42"W x 25"D x 47"H and weighs 40 pounds. Crafted by folks obsessed with the honesty, integrity, and quality of an American icon.
