19th Century Rocking Chair

Description

This rocking chair came from a 5th generation farmhouse in New Hampshire.  My wife aunt lives there.  There isn't any manufacturing information on it.  It is in good condition and sturdy.  Any information on classifying this or its value would be much appreciated.
