This is the original rocker, made famous when John F. Kennedy ordered one for the Oval Office and used it nearly every day to relieve the pain in his bad back. Over the years, Kennedy purchased 14 identical rocking chairs from a small family-owned furniture maker in North Carolina for use in the Oval Office, on Air Force One, in his White House bedroom, and other locations. Still made in North Carolina, this oak rocker has a steam bent back. The hand woven cane seat and back add to the rocker’s comfort. Fully assembled.
