Vintage William ( Bill ) Lishman Metal Rocking Chair “ The Lishman Rocker ”

Description: Vintage William ( Bill ) Lishman Metal Rocking Chair “ The Lishman Rocker ” Used, with some signs of wear—and its paint is worn, faded, and some chipped off with age. There is some very mild surface rust and some moss in a few laces, but it’s strictly surface rust, and nothing structural. It could easily be sanded and repainted. It’s strong, rocks stably and well, and is structurally sound. It is ready to use immediately. It’s very comfortable, and is easy to safely rock. Please see pictures. Again, overall in good and completely usable condition. Approximate measurements: 48” Long X 39 3/4” Wide X 36” Tall. Here is some information regarding William (Bill) Lishman) Canadian Bill Lishman is best known for his role in Operation Migration, which continues his successful efforts to re-shape avian migration patterns across North American. Lishman earned the nickname "Father Goose" by developing the means to encourage large flocks of birds to settle in new nesting areas by leading them in flight using an ultra-light aircraft. His unusual methods have had great success over 3 decades, and were the Subject of the 1996 film FLY AWAY HOME. He is also a noted artist and sculptor, and designed the geodesic-style buried home where he lives near Toronto. His great contribution as a furniture designer is the 1976 Lishman Rocker, an apparent homage to the sinuos lines of the Nouveau-influenced bentwood rocker by Thonet. Lishman's 4-pc, flat-pack rocking chair is executed in chromed steel pipe bent to form, joined by only 2 bolts, and utilizing a cast-aluminum seat and back that are modeled on a common tractor seat. The design is at once traditional and totally modern, even futurist, as well as easy, safe, and fun to use. Although produced in a modest edition of approx. 200 - 400, the form is familiar to most Canadians, and is invariably included in surveys of Canadian design in the 20th century.

Please note the handling time posted in the the listing. Although we try to ship out as quickly as possible, sometimes we take the entire time window stated in the posting.

I don't enjoy saying this, but due to a few bad apples almost spoiling eBay for all of us, a seller must protect themselves as well--especially on the higher-dollar items, so the rocker’s information is logged, and “mapped" (fully) with detailed pictures, in the event a return is attempted with a different rocker, or a part is changed or removed. Again, please accept my apologies for this statement. It's only directed toward "the 1%". Ref: 17133
