Description

Purchased this Rocking Chair for 40 dollars the other day. It was found buried under cloth at a thrift store. I have looked for markings under the seat, but have not found any carvings or marks. The handpainting gold detail is so lovely, very well taken care of, with exception of a few chips on the top and bottom of back of chair. I have never seen a full back rocker before. What can you tell me about this Rocker? Origin? Age? Worth? I have looked all over the internet for something similar, but no such luck. I didnt really pay alot for it, but something tells me this one is special.

History Purchased at a thrift store that was going out of business. Found under a stack of cloth. Woman told me she bought it years ago from another woman who had it in her family since she was a little girl. Reminds me of Folk American with Dutch Style influence.. Pennsylvania Dutch American? I truly have no idea. Would like to know more about this chair. Age, Origin, Worth. Thank you!!
