An exceptional example of early modernist craftsmanship, this South African rocking chair embodies the sculptural grace and material warmth characteristic of the era’s finest atelier work. Constructed from solid wood and newly upholstered in ochre mohair, the chair’s sensuous curves and fluid lines evoke the organic modernism of Jean Royère and the Czech master Jindřich Halabala.

Fully restored to its original elegance, the piece balances comfort with architectural precision - the sweeping bentwood arms and softly contoured seat uniting in a form both inviting and refined. Its tactile upholstery and rhythmic silhouette make it a standout expression of 1930s craftsmanship and design innovation.
