    This chair has an old history that I can't even trace back to it's birth. This chair was my mothers fathers mothers mother's chair as far as I know. Over 200 yrs old likely. My Grandfather was originally from Quebec but the chair may have come over from France. It has had a bit of a rough life which makes me love it more. It was in a fire back when my mother was a child. She is 71 now. The chair was one of the only items that survived. It was heavily soot covered and needed a new seat. It had a couple spots that had darkening from the fire so it was sanded down in parts. It is a sturdy chair and has rocked a lot of babies. Just want to know more. Thanks.
