Rockers of this type are in what's called the "Colonial Revival" style. Colonial Revival pieces
are reproductions of the original American Colonial items originally produced from 1620-1780.
The Colonial Revival style became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution
in 1876. At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so
great it outstripped supply. This caused large manufacturers to begin production of pieces in the Colonial style from the Jacobean to early Georgian periods. Today values for these pieces depends on their quality of construction, how close they follow original designs and their overall condition. This one would be worth about $150.00
