Hi Daniel,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Rocking chairs are one of the single-most nostalgic relics from Colonial times (though, interestingly, they were not made in great volume until the late 19th Century.
Sadly, they have fallen out of fashion and with many more on the market than demand, prices realized when these are sold at auction usually fall on the modest side, about $100-150.

If you'd like for your appraisal to include dimensions, which is customary, please forward in the comments section - at your convenience - the overall height of the back, the height of the seat and the width from the outside of the arms, I'll update this ASAP.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A vintage Art Nouveau style carved and turned maple rocking armchair

The shaped crest with incised foliate decoration over a splat comprising six thing twisted spindles, shaped arms raised on twisted spindles over a shaped saddle seat, on turned legs, on rockers.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
