Long Description
Looking to identify the style of these 2 chairs to start to investigate the potential value.
One is a rocking chair and the other is standard. Leather seats with horse hair stuffing and large cushion springs in the seat, similar to what is in a sofa. I think it is oak. Dark stain. Very substantial pieces. The chairs are sturdy and in very good condition but the cushions need to be redone, as the springs have separated from the body of the cushions.
History
Been in the family for at least 70 years, possibly longer.

Re: Looking to identify style of these 2 chairs
Like many pieces made during the first quarter of the 20th century, these are a mix of styles. The could classed as "Colonial Revival", though they look like a mix of Mission & Colonial Revival.
