Re: triple pressed rocking chair
This chair has been in my family since the 1980's when it was purchased by my father for his antique business. At that time my mother was taking a class for furnature restoration and used this chair for her class project. When this chair was first purchased it was painted black and the cane seat was nearly gone completely. but through the restoration class my mother paid alot of attention to the detail on the back of the chair and used a nut pick to get all the paint out of the crevices of the design. then the teacher of the class offered to put in the cane seat because it was too advanced for my mother to do at the time. My father said that the chair is about 100 years old but was not exactly accurate. My parents would love to find out what this chair is worth now. When my mother restored it she was offered $500 for it and that was in the 1980's. could you please help me figure out what this is worth? I have done some checking in books and online and came up empty. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you so much for your help...
Re: triple pressed rocking chair
<p>Press backs are a product of the turn of the 19th century,and were sought after items during the 1980's. Time moves on though, as does fashion and today pressbacks are selling for about half what they once were. Your rocker is in lovely condition though and would sell for about $300.00 today.</p><p> </p><p>Lovejoy </p>
Re: triple pressed rocking chair
are you an appraiser? and how accurate is this estimate? im wondering if I should persue any more estimates...my father said it should be worth more than that. and I dont want to persue if this is a accurate amount. do you work for the instappraisal site? not trying to be rude, I just want to make sure! thank you for all your comments!<img src="/sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" width="18" height="18" />
