A Fine Carved and Inlaid Art-Nouveau Oak Rocking Chair, c.1890

This masterful yet whimsical chair exhibits fine carving on all surfaces with animals, and art nouveau wheat carving oppsite the crest rail.  The oak is very smooth and is embellished with varying inlay work of alternating contrasting woods, not typical for this period.  All is supported on four monumental claw and ball as well as paw feet, the front feet are carved in a different style than the rear, each finely excecuted.  All sides exhibit a different carved expression.
