Help with Windsor Chair ID

Hi folks,
Would anyone be able to give me any information about this chair I just acquired from my dad, it's been in the family a very long time and any information about it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
bkc

 

Hi, bkc! I've taken the liberty of reposting your photograph as Full Image so it's easier for everyone to see. You'll want to do that in the future. (And not to worry, all new members do the same thing in their first posts.) Now tell us... How long is "a very long time" in your family?

I'd be guessing it's about 50-60 years old - the blonde paint job says French Provincial bedroom to me, and that means circa 1957-1972 and the design says Colonial influence.

 

That's what I'd think too.

Thanks so much, Debora! My mom (75yo) remembers it being in the family as a young child. Your input is much appreciated.

 

Thank you for your response!

 

Then the date range above is more than likely correct.

This is a comb-back windsor rocker. The styling, construction, and rocker attachement are similar to antique examples. I don't think yours is antique but hard to tell what we have with that paint job. Here is a genuinely old example. Can we have a look under the seat?
