Lot 160
A Fine American Carved Cherrywood Campeche Rocking Chair, early 19th c., scalloped crest flanked by turned finials, S-curve arms with shaped supports, curule base connected by plain stretchers, leather sling back with nailhead trim Note: This chair is very similar to a campeche rocker discovered by antiquarian Jas Gundry and now in the Bayou Bend Collection, Houston (acc. b.2001.2). Elements below the crest appear to be identical on both chairs. The chair offered here has a crest with finely molded edge and graduated lobes differing from the high scalloped flat edged arch on the Bayou Bend example. Reference: Holden, Bacot, Gontar, et. al. Furnishing Louisiana, Creole and Acadian Furniture, 1735-1835 . p. 359, fig. 23.
