Rocking chair
« on: August 03, 2016, 05:57:24 pm »
I am decorating my porch and bought this old rocking chair to re-do. Does anyone know if it's an antique or just old? Thanks.

It's an old antique, ca. 1900 I'd say. :)

"YUP", ...... and probably "Golden Oak" if refinished.

No doubt about it, I am correct, the old woman is wrong! BAM!

One can clearly see the "rays" or figure of quarter sawn oak on arm rests.

I uploaded and "lightened" up one of the picture.

The grain in the arm-rest looks like oak .... but can't see the grain in the chair back.

To wit:
