Description

Hi, this rocking chair has been in my father's family for over five generations. It was in my great-great grandparents' house in rural Georiga. No one seems to know where it might have come from. The seat is leather and there is an inlaid torch with a small circle of mother of pearl. Sadly it has not been cared for and I'm worried it would not be worth it to have it restored. I can't find anything like it in my Google searches.

Thanks in advance.
