Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

This is a very nice model of a rocking chair in a bottle. The chairs arms and side supports are in natural wood and notched in a pattern. The seat is wool woven in red and blue. The chair fills out the bottle quite well. The bottle is sealed with a wooden stopper which has a long shaft through the neck with a trick "tamper proof" cross piece. On the end of the cross piece are initials which look like either AV or AN. Outside the bottle, the top of the shaft has a round natural wooden circle resembling a checker.
