Heywood Wakefield Wood Rockig Chair

<p>This is a modern version of a 1840&#39;s Boston Rocker by Heywood Wakefield. While not as popular as their Wicker , the reproduction rockers were well made pieces. Values for them however are now modest, at auction they often sell for less than $100.00.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>

<p>I am not sure if this is a reprodcution or not? how would you tell? there is a in laid round stamp under the seat that says heywood wakefiled. </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>It&#39;s all detective work and 40 years in the business ;~) The chair is in a 1830&#39;s &#39;Boston Rocker&#39; type design, but the two companies that made up  Heywood -Wakefield did not consolidated as one company until 1897. A great many companies made reproductions of early American Furniture following the Bicentennial of 1876, the greatest number being made prior to the 1930&#39;s.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>
