Older Antique Rocking Chair *need help*

Hello I have this older I believe antique rocking chair and do not know anything about it. If anyone has information as to the type of chair, make, values whatever would love to find out. Trying to sell it.

I am editing this post as I was unable to add photos but now have been able to do so. Photos of chair is now attached.

i did not see any markings of companies, builders, or dates on the chair.


Thanks!

 

Welcome, Eric. What error message are you getting?

 

Probably photos too large. OP: Email the photos to yourself, and save size Medium. Up they go.

 

I was able to upload photos

 

Thanks! Photos are now uploaded!

 

Looks like a Thonet. I have its blond sister.

 

Do you have any idea on age or if it’s made by a company or how much you think it’s worth?

 

Mine has THONET (the maker) impressed into the back of the seat. I was given it (brand new) as a gift in 1969.

We don't do values here. But it is common enough that you should be able to find active and completed listings online. Where are you?

 

Here's the results of a very quick and dirty search for Thonet rocker

I am in upstate New York near Vermont. I will have to look for this marking

 

that damage will be a limiting factor on who would buy it and what they would pay....

 

The damage to the caning? Replaceable, of course, but expensive to do so.

Lots of knock-off of Thonet rockers made for a lot of years. If not a true thonet, the value is very minimal. Think the seat damage negates it further to nil. From what I can see, yours appears to be a fairly modern knock-off (would love to be proven wrong).

 

same thinking here too.........

 

I 3rd knock off. We bought my gran one from Pier One in 1978 or so. I remember it was $20 brand new !

 

Thanks everyone for the information! Good to know!

 

Agree with verybrad.
Unfortunately, that's something I'd take to the curb during a cleanout... not even worth donating.

 

Yep, lots of bent wood furniture was popular in the 70s and 80s.
