Pressed Back Rocker
I am not sure about the type of wood used. Here are the dimensions: 39 1/2" H, 25" at the widest part which is the armrests, seat by itself not including the arms is 19" wide, seat is also exactly 19" Long, entire length of the chair is 31 1/2" which is the legs tip to tip. There is a faint stamp of MD on the middle bottom, along with black numbers/letters on the middle right bottom of the chair. Those are the only marks on the chair. I also have closeup pics of the hardware used.
Came from my adopted father's family who lived in Roanoke, Virginia
