Description

This rocking chair belong to my great grandmother in the late 1800's. I have a picture of my grandfather sitting in this chair when he was a baby. He recently would of been 86 years old.

I have tried to research Piel Bros but, did not come up with any other information. They were based out of Indianapolis, IN. I have only seen one other item in doing my research made by Piel Bros. I t was a wicker baby buggy.
