Mission oak baseball rocker

[sayhey24]

Hi Brock -- Here are my thoughts for what they're worth.
First, I would definitely call it mission oak -- it's a style, not a brand name.

Normally I would agree with Mark that you want special pieces to be all original -- there's nothing I hate more than a beautiful flannel jersey that's been autographed -- I will never, ever understand that.

But in this case, I like the painting. As was said before, it really makes the scene pop. Below I am showing a couple of colorized photographs for comparison. Just like your chair, they started out as something else, and were painted. I believe that thanks to the colorization, they are much more valuable and desirable. I'd be all over your chair if I had the room and the finances right now. You mention there is damage and possible restoration -- that could be scaring people away.
Anyway, I think it's a cool piece!
