It ALMOST looks like a Stickley. But their lines were always straight. Yours is a barrel style rocking chair. Looks like quality wood. Any marks at all? If the seat can be removed, look under it, too. I would definitely call it Mission Style. Definitely same period anyway!

Thanks so much. I'm going to (finally) get it refinished and reupholstered so we may find some marks. I'll post the "after" photos and any new info!
I wouldn't refinish t. Maybe polish it with a tinted wax, which can be removed, if needed. There might already be interesting fabric under that vinyl..
