Rocker is in excellent condition. The chair was sensitively cleaned and polished by Maloof approximately 10 years ago. There are few miniscule imperfections detectable only by touch. In raking light there is faint residue to right arm rest. This piece comes from a collector who shared Maloof's woodworking passion and was a longtime friend of the artist. Carved signature, date and client name to underside: [No. 3 1983 Sam Maloof Fall Made]. Wright would like to thank the Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts and Crafts for their assistance in cataloging this lot. USA, 1983
