Antique Chairs

This chair is an antique oak spindle-back rocking chair with a cane seat, typically dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, often associated with the American Victorian or Eastlake Revival styles. Key features include the solid oak construction, the hand-woven cane (or rattan) seat, the unique spiral or barley twist spindles in the backrest, and a carved top rail. Key Details Era: Late 19th to early 20th century (circa 1890s–1910s). Style: Commonly identified as Victorian, Eastlake Revival, or sometimes Arts & Crafts/Mission style depending on specific regional variations and manufacturer. The spiral spindles are a prominent Victorian design element. Material: Constructed from solid oak, which often develops a rich patina over time. Construction: These chairs were often mass-produced in American workshops during the post-Civil War era. Hand-caned seats are common. Value and Identification Tips The value of the chair can range widely based on condition, originality, maker, and specific design. Condition: The cane seat appears to be in good condition in the image, which is important for value. Signs of wear and a natural aging patina are expected on authentic antiques. Price Range: Similar antique oak spindle-back rocking chairs with cane seats typically sell for around $100 to over $400 USD in the general market, while high-end or rare examples can fetch much more from specialized dealers or auctions.
