Sewing Chair
This low wooden rocker belonged to my
mother, Lillie Strahl Cardinal (1877-
1948). I don't know when or how it was
acquired, but I remember it as an old
chair when I was a child.
Originally, the chair was finished with
a dark brown stain and had a brown cane
seat (fragments of the cane are still
there). In the late 1920's, Mother
installed a dime store plywood
replacement seat. At some time, one of
the six back splints was broken; I
removed the opposite one to maintain
symmetry when I painted the chair gray
in the 1950's.
