Description
- George Nakashima
- Single-Arm “New” Rocker
- American black walnut and hickory
Provenance
Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner
Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The present condition of the offering shows the sensitive care and attention of the current owner. The rocker with a wonderfully freeform single arm that adds depth to the overall form. The outer edge of the armrest with a few minor edge chips along the thin portion of the freeform edge consistent with handling and use. The legs and seat with a few scattered minute surface scratches consistent with use. A wonderful design blending Nakashima's freeform design with the American furniture tradition of the spindle back rocker. -----
