Waterfall rocking chair, my new project!

I purchased this from my brother in law! He got it in Perry Georgia! It needs some work , but will be beautiful refinished! It will a beautiful piece to add to my home! I wish I knew more history about the chair! I was told it is an earth 1800's and not many have made it thru the years! This one is missing a rocker and the seat needs some tender lol bing care!
