Any ID on this antique rocking chair

[Gregg3131]

Got this for free and was wondering how old it is and perhaps any value? It seems to be put together by pegs however I do see some circle nails in wicker but perhaps that was put in later ? Any thoughts it’s very lightweight

Can't tell you much but my mom used to do that caning. That chair can be easily repaired by someone that does the caning. Ask around, I'll bet someone in your area can do it. Gary

Looks like it's made of walnut, it has round nails and stylistically it probably dates to the early 20thc.

Unfortunately, someone has taken a Sharpie to the underside of this rocker and in my opinion has permanently damaged it's history.
Folks, if you're going to attach a 'label' to an antique piece, please us something other then a permanent marker!
