RARE - Original Antique New England 18th Century Windsor Continuous Arm Comb Back Rocking Chair 1700s This is a lovely Windsor rocker that has an attractive color and patina.  Whether for your home or your rental property, it would add a sculptural presence and ambiance to any room and truly reflects the long history it has quietly witnessed.  Its condition reflects both its use through the years and the quality of the workmanship.  It is delicate, so while perfectly functional, it is strictly decorative for us. The rocker was passed down through my husband's New England family.  The continuous arm combining with the arched back is a feature found in West Country Windsor chairs in England and from where immigrant chair makers may have introduced it in America however the surmounting comb back above the bentwood cresting is a more distinctive feature of American examples so we believe it was crafted here. The spindle turned back with arched bentwood combined with shaped arms and with a comb shaped cresting, the solid seat on turned splayed legs joined by H-shaped stretchers.  It is likely to be of mixed woods including maple and hickory. The bentwood components are probably ash. There are no distinct markings.  The arms have repairs at curvatures (see picture).  The chair is in good condition but clearly reflects its age of over 200 years.  I am happy to send additional pictures if you need to see a particular angle close up will and answer any questions. Since this is a rare item in good condition (for its age), we have been given various ranges of what the chair is worth (some were rather high).  What is most important to us is that the chair finds a new home where it will be admired and appreciated so we would definitely consider offers!
