A wonderful, highly collectible 1970s American Bicentennial commemorative platform rocking chair distributed by the historic Krebs, Stengel & Co., Inc. of New York City. This authentic vintage piece retains its original under-seat manufacturer law tag, officially verifying it as part of their famous "Black & Gold" structural frame series (Model 1755R).
Built with a heavy-duty solid hardwood frame, the seating base utilizes commercial-grade sinuous zigzag springs and dense urethane foam padding over a specialized platform rocking mechanism to ensure a smooth, comfortable rocking motion. The frame is finished in a striking ebonized black lacquer highlighted by delicate gold pinstripe accent turnings on the posts and stiles.
The prominent top rolling crest rail showcases a beautiful, exceptionally crisp gold-stenciled American Bald Eagle emblem clutching a heraldic shield, arrows, and an olive branch, flanked by patriotic stars on either end. The rear profile utilizes sturdy, flat horizontal ladder-back slats designed for optimal back support. The chair comes outfitted with a removable, clean, and ultra-plump two-piece crimson red tufted cushion pad set that snaps securely in place over the top turnings, complete with a matching ruffled lower seat apron. A perfect vintage statement piece for a nursery, library, office, or historic Americana-themed space.

The internal hardwood frame and lower rocking platform are entirely stable, completely rock-solid, and rock smoothly with no structural gaps or loose joints.

The original factory law tag from Krebs, Stengel & Co. remains perfectly intact and well-preserved on the seat underside. The black lacquer and bronze-powder gold stenciling are exceptionally bright and clear, showing only minor, expected light superficial surface scuffs from gentle historical use. The snap-on red cushions are clean, plush, and completely free of stains, tears, or fading. less
