Rocking Chairs

About Antique Rocking Chairs

Rocking chairs first became popular in England and Europe in the 1700s, but it was the American versions that really established the genre. From the Boston and Salem rockers of the mid 1800s to Shaker rockers, wicker rockers, Arts and Crafts mission oak and even Eames-style rockers, these fun chairs are a fixture of the antique furniture landscape.
