Hi to all,
As my first posting, I'd like to bring up to our attention this oak rocker that came in to my studio for conservation treatment. I'd like to know more about the chair as I've found on the underside of the seat the old label of the manufacturer , R. J. Horner & Co.
I haven't found any similar rocker to this one through searching online, so I would hope to have any input from any of you about the date this rocker could had been made, or/and if you came across a chair like this one.
Many thanks in advance.

I would think 1900 +/- 10 years.

Never, ever saw one like that before.
thanks!
