<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 4412223, member: 5066&quot;]It&#039;s hand-made so before 1840s, wedges in leg posts on seat &amp; arms plus single board seat kinda confirm that.&nbsp; Built by a professional chairmaker, known as a Boston or Thomas rocker,</p><p>&quot;Also known as a<b> Thomas Rocker Same comfort as the Boston Sack-Back but with traditional rocker rails and a head rest comb.&quot;</b></p><p><b>H</b>ere is a repro that sells for $900.</p><p><a href="http://www.thewindsorchairshop.net/styles_prices__services" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thewindsorchairshop.net/styles_prices__services" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewindsorchairshop.net/styles_prices__services</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]374888[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, agree it was probably a rocker originally.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Indeed, very common with Windsors which is why they were almost always painted originally, chair parts were usually ash, oak, maple or poplar &amp; seats pine.

You did well I&#039;d say &amp; the sack back to comb back thingy is charming.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
