I posted this item a few years ago and I was not able to gain any information at that time so, I'm going to try again.
This chair was manufactured by Piel Bros. I have not been able to find any information on Piel Bros. Manufacturing either.

Re: 1880's Wicker Chair
I don't have any information on them either, all I have is Piel Bros Manufacturing was located in Indianapolis , they operated there at least until the first World War (1914-18). You would probably to be able to find out more about the company by contacting a library or Historical society in Indianapolis. As far as value goes, demand for wicker peaked quite a while ago, whicker rockers like this now sell at auction for less than $100.00.
