The bear chair...

My sweet hubby Bob =TThealer inherited a chair yesterday from his Aunt who is 90 years old...and has decided to start offloading some of her things... while she still knows who and where they are going

Anyways, the really cool part about this particular chair, is that is was originally owned by Bob's great grandmother, Louisa, who was born in 1859 Soooooooo... this chair is closing in on being about 130+ years old and it is not only in great shape... but, the spindles in the back are absolutely beautiful!!

It's a very small rocking chair (width wise) and the although the seat is too tall to be a child's chair... it's certainly too low to be a man's chair... so we're thinking maybe it was Great Grandma's sewing chair??

Anyways, it's a bit on the delicate side... so I've loaded it up with bears, just to keep butts out of it!
