Tiger (or quarter-sawn) oak is one of the most beautiful woods that predominated the late 1800's furniture market. It's distinctive golden stripes resembled that of a tiger, hence the nickname "tiger" oak. This extremely desirable pattern in oak is obtained by quartering a log down the center, then each quarter section has to be cut on a diagonal from the center out, thereby getting only a few boards of any worthwhile width. This is the wood used in this lovely turn-of-the-century oak slipper rocker with its ornately pierced backsplat. Shaped saddle seat and back, turned spindles, and graceful hip rests give it a feminine flair. Perfect for the nursing mother! Measures 21" wide x 34" high to top of back, 13" high to seat, and 30" deep at rockers.
Historical note: Slipper rockers were made lower than normal so that ladies could sit with their wide skirts spread over the sides and reach their feet to put their slippers on.
