I checked the on-line precedents under Chair (and Furniture) and all I 
found was in The Tenure of Karina of the Far West (December 1975 - June 
1979)
CHAIR:A curule chair is a kind of folding camp-stool, having curved legs 
and no sides or back. Its use was a mark of great distinction. (KFW 29 
Oct 76 19], p. 3)

The Pict Dict's mention of a chair doesn't include a rocking chair.
