From 1889 to 1909, L.G. Fullam & Sons crafted a line of wooden rocking chairs not far from our ClearLake Furniture workshop here in Ludlow, Vermont. These hardwood rockers featured a high back, with reed and rattan seats, and were known for their comfort. In its 20-year history, the company manufacturer tens of thousands of their popular rockers, in about 50 different styles. But, today, we are hard-pressed to find an original.

This summer, the Black River Academy Museum (BRAM) and ClearLake Furniture will be celebrating both Fullam & Sons and their rocking chairs. The only trouble is, we can’t find enough chairs to exhibit!

If you have a wooden rocking chair, please take a look under the arms to see if there is a Fullam company stamp. If you have an original, can we borrow it for a short time for this summer’s exhibit? We’ll make arrangements for safe shipping to and from the museum.

Please contact Georgia Brehm, BRAM Director, or me, and send along a photo of your Fullam rocker.
