It's missing two of the rounded " caps " one of which is in the front and kind of obvious - I'm not
Kristi - ( FOR THE LOVE OF WOOD ) and have absolutely no woodworking skills - so thought
oh well - it's still an antique - and I do not charge antique prices - so someone will just have to buy
it as is - and turned it around to remove the seat and lo and behold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TAPED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What are the chances of that - I'd better buy a lottery ticket tomorrow, lol
I think this child's rocking chair is gorgeous and unique - I haven't seen one quite like it ( not right now I know - sort of looks like something out of " The Shining " ) now why would I go and say that??? I won't get Jack Nicholson's face out of my head now!
Better go paint it quickly so I can erase that thought completely!!!
It smells something terrible - needs a good cleaning - and of course I have to reupholster it - but still I'm loving it too much

That is awesome! I have had this issue in the past, so I just took he sections off of the rest of the legs and sanded so it looked like that was how it was meant to be... Never had the pieces taped & waiting for me to find them...Lucky girl! - Susan
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Love the details on the rocking chair :)
ReplyDeleteSomeone was wise and smart when they taped the pieces under! It's a gorgeous chair! Can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteQuick - recover it or Jack will get you!
ReplyDeleteBut I think your luck will hold out - after all you did find that cap!
