The Brumby Rocker is a type of rocking chair built by the Brumby Chair Factory of the Brumby Chair Company in Marietta, Georgia, which operated between 1875 and 1942, or by its successor which started in 1972. Former US president, Jimmy Carter was an admirer of the chairs and brought five Brumby rockers to the White House.[1]
The chair is deliberately large, with large arms, seat and "runners" and a very high back.[2][3][4] It has good balance, is sturdy, weights 32 pounds and stands 4 feet tall.[5] It's made with a variety of materials including cane and red oak.[5]
