This is an antique glider rocker made of wood with and embroidered back and seat. The embroidered back is approximately 18" x 12", the seat embroidery is approximately 17" x 17" . The rocker is 42" tall at the top of the back. There are 2 small wheels attached to the underside of the front legs.

Good evening, Gerald,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Glider rockers are not terribly old - they were invented in the late 19th century but yours is later and these do not bring much at auction.
A few recent auction sales of comparable rockers were used to research the value of yours:
