Dear Terry,
Many thanks for submitting the photographs and information on the rocking chair. Before proceeding with the appraisal, can you please provide approximate dimensions (height x width x depth) for the chair?
Kind regards,
Grace
Thank you Terry!
The appraised work is likely an early 20th century rattan rocking chair with jupe rope arms and cross stretchers. Rattan originated in Southeast Asia and is known for its strength and durability. The Philippines is currently the main producer of the material, which is then regularly imported to the United States and other countries for furniture production. The appraised work’s shape is reminiscent of deck and club chairs of the early 20th century often found on cruise ships, giving it a sense of ease and informality. The estimate provided is based on comparable examples recently offered and sold at auction. In many cases, pricing for similar items available on the retail market vary and are often higher than secondary (auction) market examples.
Thank you very much. Very interesting information.
Dear Terry,
I'm happy to help!
Kindly,
Grace
