Antique Questions Forum / morris recliner

« on: December 28, 2014, 01:49:58 pm »

I bought a rocking chair about 40yrs ago and was told that it is a Morris recliner. I am not really knowledgeable in antiques but wanted to find out what this rocking chair might be and what it might be worth. I have attached two photos.  I am new to this site and want to thank the one individual who did respond. I am not sure how to directly respond this kind person.  Before posting this,  I went on line to see if I could see other Morris recliners that looked like mine. Since none liked the same, I am sure the person who responded was correct in saying that it is not a Morris recliner.  I have attached a few more photos of the mechanism for tilting the back to the incline position. I looked underneath and not marks or indication for who made this chair was visible. So, I am not sure what to call it, expect a recliner.  I know it is old and oak.
