This chair looks like it has value. The only way to know for sure is to find the manufacturer mark underneath the chair, cushion or on the back.
I didn't find a rocking chair like yours & it appears to be in good condition & I'm sure is quite valuable. If there are no manufacturer's marks on your chair, you may need to contact a professional antique's dealer for an appraisal.
I think this is an antique 19th rocking chair

Victorian Mahogany Rocking Chair Chinoiserie Toile Fabric 19th Century is listed for $699
I found an identical chair, but it's not a rocking chair
The seat was completely rebuilt, upholstered.
Your chair has a rather high seat, I think it has coiled springs inside. Armchairs made after 1830 often have coiled springs homeguides.sfgate.com/
It is very difficult to identify a chair from one photo.
I think your Rocking Chair is from the late 1800s.
Check screws. If the wood around the screw is oxidized black, then it is an old uncoated screw. If the screw has an off-center slot that is not even, then it is a handmade screw. Machine-made around 1830 screws have the slot again off-center but even. Modern gimlet screws post 1848 have a centered slot.

Interesting rocking chair.
Probably not very 'popular' in the regular market as to gain the true value of an item like this, you will probably have to take it to a well advertised auction which will probably not be local - or maybe you are in an area where large antique auctions are held.
I did see a few similar chairs but antiques are not valued by 'similar' pieces as each one is unique - style, type, age, overall condition, brand, - all of these things make up the value of a chair like this.
I use free appraisals frequently and their answers are always top-notch. They may not provide information if your item is worth less than $500. It might be a good idea to ask before you do anything with your chair.
