The chair to the left is a Lifetime #680-1/2. It is 41" tall.
The chair featured below is a version of this chair that is 3" shorter
with a shorter corbel. This chair is not identified in the Lifetime
catalog so I do not have a model number.
The #680-1/2 can be found on page 16 of "Lifetime Furniture, the Cloister
Styles" by Turn of the Century Editions. (Our inventory No P-5, $9.95)
Lifetime Arm Chair Rocker
This Lifetime rocker is in near perfect condition but sadly it is not
marked. It is very solid, no loose joints, no broken or cracked pieces.
But it does have typical wear for a chair nearly 80 to 90 years old.
The rocker stands 38" tall and is 23" deep at the arm and is 20" wide
across the back, and 22-1/4" wide in the front. The arms are 4" wide
and stand 27" high. The front legs are mortised through the arms.
The seat is 19" deep, 19-1/2" wide and sits 19" high. There are 4,
3" wide slats in the back and 2, 3-3/4" wide slates under each arm.
The corbels are 8" long extending down to the top of the cushion rather
than to the top of the front seat rail as on the #680-1/2.
This is a shorter version of the #862-1/2 as shown in the reprinted
Lifetime catalog on page
Most of the joints are mortise and tenon but only the back stretcher
at the top of the back legs are pegged.
The seat is the original wood frame seat with coil springs. It
is in very good condition but has been recovered several times without
removing the previous fabric.
