    HI,
    Thanks for reading. I picked up this great little platform rocker and am wondering if anyone on here can give me a date rage for it and perhaps an idea of the type/era of it? I'm smitten with it and realize that it's not worth a ton of money, but It's pretty cool piece in my eyes. b7310d4b637740c5885250fe852199bc.jpg f854f9be0dd340329988d09019db6657.jpg

    I think toward the end of the renaissance revival period so about 1880. Appears to be walnut. I am a bit puzzled by the back and wonder if this has been truncated when reupholstered.

    Do you think the top roll part was added? I can't seem to find anything similar to it on the internet.

    That is the part that is puzzling. Would expect a bit taller back with a wood carved crest.

    Researching it more, I think you're right. I see more of them with a center pad on the back and more carved wood on the top. Perhaps it was damaged over the years and this is what someone came up with to overcome it. I think they did a great job finding a creative solution.
