Re: Heywood Wakefield Wood Rockig Chair

<p>This is a modern version of a 1840'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> </p><p>Lovejoy </p>

Re: Heywood Wakefield Wood Rockig Chair

<p>It's all detective work and 40 years in the business ;~) The chair is in a 1830's 'Boston Rocker' 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's.</p><p> </p><p>Lovejoy </p>
