Miniature Wooden Rocking Chair

This is a small-scale rocking chair, likely intended as a decorative doll's chair or a collectible miniature furniture piece. It is constructed entirely from wood, exhibiting a rich, dark reddish-brown finish that suggests a cherry or mahogany stain, though the underlying wood type is not clearly discernible from the image. The chair features a classic spindle-back design with several vertical slats supporting a subtly curved top rail. The arms are gently curved and connect to turned supports in the front and directly to the back posts. The four posts, both front and back, are turned with decorative bead-and-reel or spool-like elements, adding a touch of traditional craftsmanship. The seat is flat and solid. The rocking mechanism consists of two curved rockers attached to the bottom of the chair's legs. One cross-stretcher is visible between the front and back rockers, enhancing stability. The finish appears generally intact, with some minor scuffs or wear visible, particularly on the edges and high points, indicating light use or handling. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like cracks or breaks. The construction appears to be mortise and tenon or doweled joints, typical for wooden furniture, even in miniature. Its scale suggests it dates from the mid-20th century to contemporary, as it reflects a common style for miniature furniture.
