Hi, Donna,
I was wondering if you could tell me anything about this chair. I purchased it at a yard sale over 15 years ago and I am wondering if it is worth anything. I am looking to sell it. As you can see it folds up nicely so that it doesn’t take up much storage space. I don’t see any maker marks on it. The seat and back appear to be in excellent shape, but the frame is fairly scratched or worn. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Judy
Dear Judy,
Your folding rocker does seem to be in good shape for the age (early 1900s). It does look like at some point it has been refinished and possibly reseated. The rose carving on the top is sweet.
It’s a tough piece because even though it is officially an antique it’s not very sought after for today’s decor.
For marketing it, a value would be in the $75 range. I am not sure how easy that would be. I might try a consignment store. Remember, though, you will only get part of the value.
Judy, I hope this helped and you find a new home for your sweet chair.
