Rocking chair low to the ground wide width. Restored needlepoint on seat and Bach. Wood show wear.
A friend gave it to us. He thought it was worth $800.00 10 years or so ago.
Good morning, Melody,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, is it possible for you to take a photo so that the entire chair is in the photo? Also, a photograph from the side so I can see the profile?
Thanks!
Delia
