Description
This chair is solid wood but I am not sure of the species. There are no markings or manufacturer anywhere that I can find. It appears to have the original upholstery with no stains, tears or blemishes at all. The underside of the seat is basket woven strapping. The rocking function is a spring mechanism. Any information is much appreciated. Thank you for your help!
Re: Back/Seat Upholstered Rocking Chair
Your chair is walnut Eastlake Platform rocker. Eastlake period was 1870-1895. I don't believe it has the original upholstery, but I could be mistaken.
Your chair would be valued at $200.00 - $400.00 normally, but with the market like it is today, one can only guess. Good luck with your chair.

That's what it is alright, sometimes the maker's company name can be found on the spring mechanism, or at least a patent date.
