rocking chair
Grandmother's favorite seat
A rocking chair is a chair mounted on curved runners that allow it to rock back and forth.
The gentle motion is associated with relaxation, nursing infants, and elderly people on porches: Grandma spent her evenings in the rocking chair on the front porch.
The design dates to the 18th century.
