Its provenance is not known. By all appearances, we believe it was built in the 18th century or first half of the 19th century. We acquired it in a Philadelphia antique shop about 30 years ago. It may well have been made in Philadelphia. There is no maker mark.

We call it a Ladies Rocker because it was clearly built for a delicate build. At 135 pounds, I am comfortable rocking in it, but I wouldn't suggest my husband sit in it. In my imagination, it was designed for a nursing mother. less

This repair is antique itself and somewhat adds to the charm of the piece. When we acquired the chair, there was a crack in top of the arch of the chair-back. This was repaired by an antique restoration professional (John Hobe) about a decade ago. He did not speculate on the exact vintage of the piece but suggested that we do right by the chair because it deserved to be repaired. That we did. The repair is hardly visible. less
