i have two chairs similar to these chairs listed on Ebay...... http://cgi.ebay.com/2-ANTIQUE-VICTORIAN-FOLDING-ROCKING-CHAIRS-/270778710503?pt=Antiques_Furniture&hash=item3f0bab39e7

I know it is not the original Colliton chairs but mass produced by whom? I have one that is woven and the other one is like the chair on the right in Ebay pic.

Does anyone know of the manufactor's and date they were made?

These are Victorian style folding tapestry back sewing rockers. Originally designed to fold and fit into a wardrobe or slide under the bed until needed. These were very popular with ladies quilting bees, sewing clubs and such. The "tapestry" is not a real tapestry, but a woven imatation. The lack of arms defines it as a sewing rocker as it leaves elbow room for doing needlework. Most are made of Mahogany although I have seen them in Rosewood and Walnut. They were made starting around the mid 1800's and are still being made today.

If you could post a picture of yours including a picture of the bottom of the seat and and "folding" hardare, I can give you a pretty good guess at who made them and when. My wife is the appraiser, but I've sold hundreds of these over the past 30 years.

We went antiquing this weekend. Lucky me I have the biggest Antique Mall in the Southeast (80,000 sqft!!)
Then we have a TON smaller ones surrounding. What I love about them all is they are all in Old historic buildings. I love my community

I would totally work at one

Anyways this weekend I we went in one in loganville and bought a trike. I say its from the 1970s, my SO and his brother say earlier.
We paid $30 for it and plan on sand blasting, painting and polishing the metal out and giving it to the kids.
Ive never seen one before...
Anyone have any idea on the date?

oh... and I watch American Pickers, Pawn Stars, and American Restorations (rick dale =

)
In case anyone didnt know you can watch them online @ History.com

Hey sara! nice trike. I dont know much about them. I just found "American Pickers" on netflix last night, (we dont have cable so I dont get to watch the cable stuff til it comes out on netflix). Im on episode 3 and they buy alot of antique automobiles, bicycles and motor bikes. Pretty interesting. Now about this 80k squ foot antique mall....Where is it exactly, whats it called? Im in North Jax and Im going to Savannah for my bday labor day. I want to put this on my Got to GO list!
