Rare Scandinavian Rocker by Lena Larsson

A quick glance may have you thinking this the same rocking chair Grandma had with its black lacquered frame and natural colored seat.  Closer inspection reveals the gracefully shaped arms that transition into the back frame.  The spindles are all finely tapered.  There is a balance and lack of bulk that distinguishes Scandinavian designs from American.

The "Grandessa" rocker (a.k.a. Bohem 2402) was designed by Lena Larsson in the 1950's and produced by Nesto.  Its graceful design is not only beautiful but comfortable as well and the high back is even suitable for taller users.  The black and natural wood fits perfectly with many current designs.  This piece is in excellent condition and can be a functional sculpture and focal point of a room. 

It even comes with a cushion that I am assuming wasn't original but the bright colored vintage fabric could also add a pop of color to the room.
