About this piece
English mid‑Victorian Winfield rocking chair designed by Peter Cooper for the Winfield Company of Birmingham, England, first exhibited at the first World Exposition in 1851.
The design presents an early modernist profile: sides formed from curved, flowing lengths of hand‑forged strap iron, linked by tubular rods and secured with brass nuts. This engineered connection allowed the chair to be disassembled and reassembled, and the model is sometimes referred to as campaign furniture.
Upholstery comprises a padded leather sling suspended from the top crossbar, then carried over a curved array of timber slats that shape the seat. An attached, padded and buttoned rectangular headrest completes the upper section.
Condition: Retains its original aged state. The frame and timber are described as excellent and will clean up. The leather seat has a hole and the upholstery will require recovering.
Dimensions: 63 cm W x 90 cm D x 108 cm H.
