Rare Restored Pretzel Arm Rattan Rocking Chair with Ottoman
A rare three-strand pretzel arm rattan rocking chair with matching ottoman. This chair features steam bent rattan frame with Art Moderne styled pink flamingo covered cushions, circa 1984.
Harveys note: This rare pretzel rocking chair was made in the late 1940s. I sold this chair originally in 1987 covered in this fabulous Schumacher Flamingo fabric. I purchased it back, and now reselling it. The cushions and fabric are still in great condition, used very rarely in a third summer home. I'd be happy to make you new cushions; I just need 6 yards of fabric.
I'm only able to find a chair like this every 5 years or so,
