Your chair was made by the S Bent & Brothers, the company established in 1867 and located in Gardner, Mass. They closed in 2000. At one time Gardner, Mass., was known as the “Chair Capitol of the World.” Other well-known furniture companies located there were Conant-Ball, Heywood-Wakefield and Baumritter, the company that became Ethan Allen. A really good S.Bent Rocker might go for $100.00 these days.
