New Gloucester Rocker

​​Your Thos. Moser furniture is made from premium hardwood provided by nature. The unique characteristics and the subtle variations in grain and color are important elements in our designs. Great care is taken to skillfully match the individual boards that make up every piece of our furniture.

Our furniture is finished with oil and lacquer. After each piece of furniture is carefully hand-sanded, it receives a coat of our proprietary oil blend. A day’s drying time is allowed, and the piece is lightly sanded, ready for the final finish.

After oiling, our pieces are finished with catalyzed lacquer. This finish is water, solvent, and household chemical resistant and does not require routine maintenance.

To clean, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth. When necessary, furniture can be wiped with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Re-wipe any remaining moisture immediately with a dry cloth.

New Gloucester was home to our first shop, not far from the last remaining Shaker Community at Sabbathday Lake in Maine. This homage to the spare, graceful design found there will bring a place of serenity to your home. Ideally spaced to envelope the back in comfort, the ash spindles are joined to the back crest and sculpted cherry seat with wedged tenons, fitted at precise angles to allow both adequate flex and deceptive strength.

Viewed from any angle, the elegant lines of the New Gloucester Rocker are a marvel. The rockers are gently sculpted to form sweeping curves; the seat is carved from North American hardwoods and contoured for comfort; and both arms and back crest show the versatility and visual appeal of wood's natural grain.

Vertical components of the rocker are made of ash – a durable wood that is immovable in larger cuts – as in the turned legs – and firmly flexible when slimmed to form the tensioned spindles that support the arms and crest. The spindles are tensioned as they enter both the crest and rails, helping to secure its form and allow a measure of "give". Once you are seated, the surprising comfort of its sculpted seat and flexing spindles is guaranteed to bring a smile.

The New Gloucester Rocker is the perfect example of our commitment to creating heirloom-quality furniture. Its joinery and engineering are carefully executed to ensure generations of use. This is a rocker that will live with a family for lifetimes.
