EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-carved rocking chair, created by James Fisher in approximately 1942, showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The chair, which is upholstered in a brown color, features intricate carvings and decorative elements, including a woven seat and back, and a rush bottom. The design is a testament to the rich heritage of American furniture design, with its traditional yet unique character. Fisher, a skilled woodcarver, expertly crafted this piece using a combination of watercolor gouache, colored pencil, and pen and ink on paperboard, as well as wood carving techniques. The result is a visually striking and tactile work of art that invites one to imagine the comfort and relaxation it would provide. This period item, which is now a cherished piece of decorative art, is an excellent representation of the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the work of American artisans during this time. It is a true treasure of American cultural heritage and a reminder of the importance of preserving the artistic traditions of the past. The rocking chair, which is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, furniture design, or the history of decorative arts. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional craftsmanship and the beauty of handmade objects.
