Description:
Windsor rocking chair in maple and pine, painted dark green. The high back of the chair was cut down and the heavy rockers added sometime in the mid nineteenth century . The chair has simple baluster turnings. The chair descended in the Sheldon Family of Deerfield. Some of the families' other Windsors were pictured in the Allen sisters' photos taken in the early 1900s while George Sheldon (1818-1916), Deerfield's town historian, was living in the Joseph Stebbins house.
