Found antique rocking chair

Nice.
Pressback American Oak.
Early 1900s.

You can get replacement leatherette seats from woodworking catalogs.

Someone may have a link.

 

Some replacement seats for antique chairs on ebay.

 

Would you consider replacing the seat with a very contemporary pattern and fabric? Would look very cool and artistic to find an antique rocking chair with a seat covered in Versace pattern.

 

If doing for yourself. If doing for resale, would stick with a traditional seat.

 

Hi everyone, sorry late reply i kept forgetting to come back. Yeah the sole purpose of me acquiring this chair was to re sell it to someone thats looking to fix it up. but i do think it should be done with a traditional seat original to the chair.

that is really neat so its a "Pressback American Oak. Early 1900s." that soooo cool!!!! so i am having trouble trying to find a replacement seat that you guys are talking about, can someone link me to one? this seat cover did come with it, i think someone was going to fix it up and gave up lol

 

Just as an example (yes, they're pricey,) this place has some made of different materials:
