Two vintage children's wood chairs, assembled pair
The rocking chair has turned elements and a beautiful patina to the wood. It also has a crack in the center of the seat. It measures 19 inches tall by 14 wide and 14 deep and a 11 inch drop from the seat to the floor.. It is not marked. The other chair is extraordinally heavy. I am not certain of the wood. It has the remnant of a hallmark under the seat. It measures 22 inches tall, by 12 inches deep and 14 inches wide with a 12 inch drop to the flooe from the seat. It appears to be oak.
