Re: Antique Rocking Chair

Your rocker dates from the first quarter of the 20th century and like most made during this period is a mix of 18th Century furniture styles, in this case Queen Anne and Chippendale. Values for chairs in this style peaked in the 1980's, demand for them has been in decline since then, comparable chairs now go at auction for less than $50.00.
