CAN ANYONE PROVIDE INFO ON AN ODD LITTLE ROCKER I FOUND? IT HAS REMAINS OF CANING IN A SORT OF HERRINGBONE PATTERN ON SEAT AND BACK, LEGS ARE CYLINDRICAL, WITH SOME RUDIMENTARY TURNING-BACK LEGS SWEEP BACK A BIT AND FORM BACK OF CHAIR, ENDING IN ACORN SHAPE FINIAL. THE CANING ON BACK WAS WRAPPED ROUND ITS OWN SUPPORTS PARALLEL TO THE UPRIGHTS ON THE BACK. THE ROCKERS ARE REALLY SIMPLE, FLAT AND SET INTO THE LEGS. I TOOK 5 LAYERS OF PAINT OFF, REVEALING A FINAL RED (pinkish!)PAINT. COULD BE MAPLE UNDERNEATH. AGE? STYLE NAME? LEAVE ON OLD PINKISH LAYER? HELP!? OTTAWA AREA, ONTARIO, CANADA
