    Hello - this chair has been in a family home for as long as we can remember. We’d like to keep it and reupholster it but are interested to find out more information about it. It seems it’s been upholstered so I won’t know what the chair itself looks like unless I remove the upholstery. I can’t seem to find any B&G chairs online with this foot/leg style but I hope it’s a place to start. Does anyone recognize this style? @verybrad Ive seen you mentioned on other posts, so I hope it’s okay to tag you here. (I’m new here.)

    Early 20th century rocker ca. 1920s. A quality company for many decades; reportedly the most prolific in the world in the late 19th century.

    Sadly not worth a lot in today's market, but not because the quality isn't there.

    It doesn’t function like a rocker though. The legs are flat with no curve.

    Not much to go on since style is in the base. Would think 20s-30s traditional revival - The so called Jacobethan. Might help to see the whole thing but the current upholstery is certainly not true to original form. The skirt has to go when this gets redone.
