A diminutive, shabby chic black painted porch cane -seated ladder back rocking chair with thumb back stiles. The paint is very worn and chipped, appearing original; there are some white paint splashes. The porch-caned seat is in fair shape; there are a few rows missing at the front right hand facing corner. With the tall legs and short back, one can almost see the youth seated there!
