Appraiser's Description:

One Early 20th Century Oak Rocking Chair

Appraiser's Remarks:

Chairs like this typically date 1900-1920, generally oak construction or maple, this one being constructed of White Oak, the most popular wood of the period. Sadly your chair really hasn't appreciated in value, demand last peaked for chairs like this in the early 1990's and has been in decline since that time. At auction currently chairs comparable to your sell at auction for under $75.00 . We'd retail a comparable for about $150.00.

Estimated Value:

$150.00
