Henry Moore - Rocking Chair

We do know that Moore cast at least a few pieces in metals other than bronze.

Rocking Chair Sculpture
11.9" high x 12.0" long x 4.2" wide at the arms

(See three photos at left)

Represented in major museums and collection worldwide, knighted by the Queen , and arguably one of the greatest influences on modernist sculpture, Henry Moore (1898-1986) is known primarily for his massive, abstract, bronze and marble sculptures.

However, in the 1950's Moore modeled a series of small (for Moore) mother-and-daughter "Rocking Chair" sculptures, said to have been inspired by the birth of his only child, daughter, Mary, in 1946.Executed in Moore's style of the 1950's (see below), these were amusing, yet touching, paens to motherhood.

I am far from an art expert, but this piece appears to be copy or a variant of one of those models, in cast steel/iron, in rich black patina

It measures 30.3 cm high x 30.6 cm long x 10.55 cm wide at the arms. There are no marks.

It is formed in two pieces.
The mother-child figure is bolted to the rocking chair seat (the skirt just touches the feet which are part of the rocker).

Condition is Excellent, patina lightly worn.

A striking and amusing example of modernist sculpture in the manner of one of the all-time greats of the 20th century.
