Nursing Rocker

$375

Low, armless rockers were designed for a mother to nurse her baby to sleep, then slip him into his cradle still sleeping. They are also great for knitting, or playing guitar or sitting by the fire, rocking. This chair took over a hundred neckties to weave. It's rare to find a Kennedy-style rocker with both the seat and back needing weaving. Mostly I re-do just the seats. Are there a few dozen ties in your closet needing a new life? I would love to make them into a family heirloom.

Rush-seated chairs wear out. Nantucket Tie Chic reweaves those seats with neckties. I can make you a custom chair, footstool or child's rocker with your loved ones old ties! Or I can use mine, customizing colors, themes and personal enthusiasms. For instance, a sailor could have a sailboat tie woven in. My ties and chair/stool frames are all upcycled. if you have a specific idea of what you want--I can do it! I've recently sold a tuffet with the top covered in tie tips. If your chairs have separate seats, they can be shipped to me and redone. Cushions can be added under the weave, too.
