It is Rocker HEAVEN around here!!! LOL... Rgreen check out the other rockers in the Projects forum
Have you ever seen underneath the headrest? It looks as if it was made to be upholstered but I'm not sure. I am wondering if it was carved under there and maybe (?) pieces are missing? The sides seem out of proportion with the top (height wise) but that could be how it's supposed to be... Does it feel square under there? Can you feel any carved details?
What do you think the wood is? Oak?
Love the footrest... Does the knob on the side release it somehow?
Are the springs underneath original or have they been replaced (Pics of the underneath would help).
Definitely a platform rocker (duh) but I'm not sure if it could be classified as an "Eastlake" rocker. It lacks the intricate country and geometrical carvings which IMO define his style. The straight carvings down the sides are typical. Mine (and I believe the others) are much smaller carvings however allowing space for 5 lines - I'm seeing 3 here. Also, whenever I see a harp in the design, I think of a Duncan Phyfe
influence but that's not really helpful as far as dating. His design is still incorporated today...
The shape of the various pieces are similar to Eastlake however. Your arms attach at the sides vrs flush - another difference...
Are you keeping or selling?
