Rocking Chair in Rosewood & Leather, Liceu de Artes, 1960s

This rocking chair by Liceu de Artes e Ofícios is a strong example of Brazilian modern design from the 1960s. The chair is constructed with a solid rosewood frame and features a suspended natural leather seat and headrest, emphasizing both comfort and material integrity.

The design incorporates the workshop’s characteristic construction details, including gently curved runners, exposed joinery, and a sling-style leather seat that creates a relaxed, reclined seating position. The interplay between the warm tone of the rosewood and the smooth leather upholstery highlights the quality of materials and craftsmanship for which Liceu de Artes e Ofícios was known during this period.

The chair retains its original leather upholstery, which remains in excellent vintage condition, showing minimal wear consistent with age. Reupholstery can be arranged upon request for an additional cost, allowing for customization while preserving the original frame.

A matching rosewood and leather ottoman (Lot 600B) from the same era, designed to complement the chair, is available together(Lot 600) or sold separately.
