[QUOTE="Allyson, post: 131273, member: 1928"]I've got this rocker that I can't seem to find anything about online. I've seen arts and crafts rockers that are [I]kind of[/I] the same, but not quite as ornate. I believe this was my great-grandmother's chair, but don't have any idea how long it's been in the family, or where it came from. My mother, against all of my protests, had the thing refurbished, and the lady who did the work said the original cushion was stuffed with horse hair. I've posted pictures below. The chair once had a lovely, almost black patina going on, but my mom wanted it scrubbed clean, re-stained and a new cushion made. Thanks in advance for your help! I love the chair, just would love to know more. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qxpou56.jpg?1[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UmR272T.jpg?1[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/O96fU89.jpg?1[/IMG][/QUOTE]
