    Can anyone tell me anything about my grandmothers old chair? It rocks, but on base. Not a glider.

    Hello, Teresa. That kind of chair is often called a platform rocker, although you picture does not show enough of the underside mechanism for me to be certain.

    The furniture people will no doubt want closer pictures of both the mechanics and the "carving" or other decoration of the wood to ID the style name and age.
