The Franklin Rocking Chair combines a truely proud, historic look with modern styling touches and our "dependable as a morning sunrise" craftmanship to offer beauty and incredible comfort that last a lifetime.
Like all of our furniture, this chair is made of shorea, a teak family wood that is more dense and heavy than teak. Shorea requires no finishing and will not rot when left outdoors where rain and sun will damage other lesser quality woods. Left untreated, shorea will weather to a soft warm shade of gray similar to the weathering of teak. Sturdy mortise and tenon construction provides the highest quality joinery that will last for many years. Original color can be maintained by applying a seasonal coat of teak oil.
