Question
what is it worth about 100 yrs old cane seat swirl arm

Answer
Hi Christie
Nice to hear from you.
Sorry, appraising antiques is not my area, but I have owned several of these lovely little rocking chairs over the years (3 kids and 4 grandchildren :-), and they sell for $125.00 to $150.00 in my area.
Now having not seen yours, I won't put that value on it, but this may give you an idea.
Hope this helps
Eileen

Expertise

I can answer most questions about the repairing and refinishing of all your old furniture items (the things we call antiques). I can also give you advice on what wood items to choose and what wood items to avoid at auctions, flea markets etc. I DO NOT give appraisals on antiques as this is not my field of expertise.

Experience

I have been repairing, refinishing and of course buying old furniture for the past 30 years. On any given weekend I can be found at auction sales or flea markets searching out a good buy. I have taken several courses in this area over the years, but I find "Hands On" learning to be the best teacher. I can help you avoid the pitfalls and problems of this wonderful rewarding craft.
