Larkin Furniture Spindle Rocker

I fell in love with this Larkin Furniture Spindle Rocker because of the history behind it. This is a beautiful, rare Larkin Spindle Rocker. It was made in the USA by the Larkin Soap Company in the 1920's. This was not an item that they would sell, instead they used it as a give away item for the General Stores that sold the most soap.

Even with some wear this rocker is still beautiful. The arms are made out of veneer wood and the back and seat are made out of a plywood type of wood, but the spindles are made out of solid wood. Typically, these chairs were thought to not be very well made, since they were largely given away for free, or at a very low cost with the purchase of Larkin's soap, but this one has proven that theory wrong. Made in the 1920's and still rocking, it must be very strong. This would be great in the living room or even in a nursery.
