Chair with Interlocking Corners and Secret Rattles Inside","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn unusual one, of substantial scale, and delivering a surprise, which is also a bit of a mystery: to jiggle it is to discover that it is rattle--but where is the rattling coming from??? ( I think it must be that concealed inside each of those crown of thorns type joints is a small wooden ball or something, because it rattles all over, but nothing visible is moving!) I love that concealment, and the playfulness it lends to this rather formidable looking chair--and also how it connects this piece of tabletop furniture with handheld puzzle rattles, constructed in a similar manner. (I've included a photo at the end for reference.) The stringing of the chair back also suggests to me perhaps sailor made--looks a lot like fishing or netting twine to me. Many things at once--and almost feels like a loom, too! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" t x 7 3\/4\" w x 5 9\/16\" d. Earlier 20th century, pine I believe. Very sturdy and sound, nice dry patina to the wood. Maybe there was once a seat to the chair, with an old nail hole along top center of the front stretch of the seat frame, as documented.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47813894111486,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_5362_596a0bf6-6732-425d-b3a9-4a9f6f68cdba.jpg?v=1771373715","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/old-hand-carved-folk-art-sailor-made-chair-with-interlocking-corners-and-secret-rattles-inside","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
