Description
Trying to find more information about the following:
This hand-carved wood rocking chair belonged to my grandmother and has been in our home for nearly 50 years. It is made of mahogany and has beautifully carved spindles, details & lion's head arm rests. Measures: 22" Wide x 20" Deep x 32 1/2" High. It is put together by pegs (at the top anyway). There are no maker marks on the piece that I can see. Collectors/experts from antique indentification sights suggest it is from the 1840-1850 era while others say it could be from 1900-1910. Possible makers are Homer, stomps-Burkhardt, Jelliff and Morris Cook. Estimated value could be from $450 to $2K.

It's an Empire Revival piece made 1890-1910. The style is not currently popular, it last peaked in the 1980's. We'd have a hard time selling a comparable for over $375.00 these days.
