About the Item
A very fine sack back armchair, circa 1780-90. This armchair has a bowed crest rail mortised into a continuous rear rail with eleven spindles, seven of which are full height. The continuous rail terminates in carved knuckle two-piece handholds above baluster and ring turned arm supports, all over a D-shaped seat with double gutter carving and a very prominent pommell, the whole supported by four baluster and ring turned legs unified by a similarly turned cross stretcher. This chair is older, but not original black paint. The secondary woods are pine, hickory and maple.

19th Century American Folk Art Rocking Horse
Located in Lancaster, PA
A charming and expressive 19th-century carved wooden rocking horse, retaining an appealing early painted surface with beautifully worn patina. The elongated, stylized form is hand-carved with exaggerated features—arched neck, sculpted ears, and a deeply carved mane—giving the piece a wonderfully naïve and folky presence. Original paint remains visible throughout in muted tones of black, green, red, and cream, softened by generations of use and natural age.
The horse sits on its original bentwood rockers, joined by hand-forged nails and wooden pegs, with traces of old surface wear that speak to its long life and authenticity. The saddle form and tail are carved integral to the body, and the expressive head retains its original painted bridle details and wide-eyed character.
This is a particularly evocative example of early children’s folk art...
