Wooden rocker I bought online from a local site No marking's that I can find Just trying to find some information about it the lady who sold it called it a Windsor rocker but again I can not find any makers mark on the chair anywhere Thank you
Hi MetalFan, and welcome to CW,
I'm sure someone will be able to help you with this, but I have a Rocker very much like this one, that was passed down to me. I grew up with it, so it's over 60 years old, but I don't think over 100 years. I think that these chairs were made to look like an antique Windsor, that would be over 200 years old, they were painted with a black varnish/paint, with the lighter areas to look like they were worn with age. They are still nice looking, and useable too, but as a production chair won't ever have a large value. So enjoy it! :^D
These are just my non-expert thoughts though! :^)
Here's one very much like yours, but it has a Rush seat, and apparently a Windsor Rocker.

Just for information anyway! :^)
Thank you for your time! I appreciate the link I Was going to redo my rocker but maybe I will leave it as is for now
Agree Windsor style rocker, probably mid to late 20th century.
Looks like the hand rests were chewed on! Some work on it will only enhance appreciation and usefulness.
