Trying to research this old rocker auction find. I’ve been told it is a nursing/sewing rocker. Dating it by the way the rockers are attached and the appearance of the splints and wood it looks maybe early 1800’s. I’ve looked online and have not seen another one like it with the slots cut to anchor the splints. Most like it are either ladder back or the weave wraps around the frame. The splints I believe are handcut and vary in thickness from 1.65mm to 2.12mm. The width is average 1/2 inch on the back and 3/4 to 5/8 on the seat. No finish, just tung oil. Any suggestions of value? Any information is appreciated.

Yes, in the US. It was an auction find and I have no idea of it’s history.
