Need help identifying this Rocking Chair

Hi,
My older wonderful neighbor just asked if I could use "my machine" to help him figure out what kind of rocking chair this is. I've searched, but can't find an exact match. You people really seem to know your stuff! Any chance someone can help with the style/age? I'm assuming no value since it looks like it's been painted/stained. There are no nails, but pegs.
Thanks you so much!

 

19th century ladder back, value is minimal as single chairs rarely sell for much unless an outstanding example or historical importance.

 

James Conrad, I'm just curious but . . . how in the world can you tell that is a 19th century chair.

Is it the wood?

Is it the woven seat (but what if the seat has been replaced at some point since the 1800s)?

Is it what you estimate its "size" to be?

 

To put it into perspective yourturn,lets say there were 40 million people in this country when that chair was made.Most everyone except the poorest of poor had a chair.Or six or ten . Even in the 19th century,there were millions of these being made every year.They werent expensive when new.Theres zillions of them. Thats why they arent valuable. That being said,its really hard to tell from your pic,but I think it might be a country made piece,wich still wouldnt increase value by much.In my humble opinion.

 

Johnnycb09, thank you for your response to my questions. You did a good job "explaining" it.

 

Well, the way the legs/feet are attached to the rockers, the turnings and the woven splint seat all make it "likely" it was made sometime in the 19th century. As @johnnycb09 said, literally 10s of millions were made so unless it has some other outstanding feature (like belonged to a famous person) value is limited.

 

OTOH @yourturntoloveit, here is a 19th century Shaker elder's rocker #7 that sold for $2200. at Willis Henry.
Very similar form ladder back but also, very "different" as well.

 

Very "different" indeed!

Simple elegance at it's best!

 

Yes, it is all about the details!
