The hand-welded and bent frame is in original condition and shows a wide array of patina with areas of spot rust, chips in paint and scratches that add to the chair's commanding character. We love the patina and left the frame in its original, character-rich condition. If you prefer to have it restored we offer a full service restoration shop. Message us prior to checkout to discuss options and pricing. The worn leather webbed backrest is in original condition and shows patina and use but showing no broken straps. The seat, custom-made and freshly upholstered in a genuine Italian leather hide in a warm mocha color, includes new medium density foam for maximum comfort and longevity. The hand rests were also hand-stitched by our upholsterer adding comfort and warmth. The rocker is perfectly balanced and currently retains softeners on the legs to prevent scratching floors but is removable if desired. The chair is perfectly balanced and rocks both easily and comfortably. Please view all photos and natural light video provided for details on this incredibly rocker's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request. less
