Dollhouse furniture from this period was often made with real attention to the details of full-size design, and this pair of rocking armchairs is no exception, cast in brass with functioning rockers rather than a fixed base. Miniature furniture like this occupies an interesting spot between toy and decorative object, small enough to fit a dollhouse but built with a level of finish that holds up under close inspection on its own.
Brass was a sensible choice for pieces meant to survive handling by children, sturdier than the more delicate materials sometimes used for dollhouse pieces, and it's held up well here, this pair dating to the 1930's. As a matched pair rather than a single chair, they're a bit more useful for anyone actually furnishing a dollhouse room rather than just displaying one piece on a shelf.
Condition notes
Great vintage condition. Some tarnishing commensurate with age.
