British Colonial Chair Value?

A vintage chair with a woven seat back.I acquired this chair recently, and the only thing I know about it, is that is used to have a tag that said, "Handcrafted in the Philippines." I'd love even a ballpark range of its value. It looks well made and is in excellent condition.

These are asking $580 for the pair. Yours looks more expensive than one of the above. www.etsy.com/.../vintage-rattan-peacock-style-fan...

I think your chair is made of bamboo (but check that it is not Faux Bamboo), in colonial style Mid Century Modern chair www.ebay.com/.../274832077314, www.etsy.com/.../mid-century-bamboo-and-cane-chair....

Your chair has a high, semicircular back forming a single upholstered piece with the wings or arms. These chairs are called Barrel Chair or Barrel Back Chair.
Also, your chair has a wicker back. Caning is a method of weaving furniture's parts. In common use, "cane" may refer to any plant with a long, thin stem. www.ebay.com/.../154508153310

So, you have Colonial Mid Century Modern Bamboo Caned Barrel Back Chair Made in the Philippines.
The price about $300-400 www.ebay.com/.../274832077314

Beautiful chair.
Sometimes chairs can be valuable but it usually takes an 'expert/appraiser' who knows all about unbranded furniture to be able to identify which is good and which is just 'nice'.

You can post your pictures on furniture forums and usually receive a lot of valuable information - even if the members are not in that line of work. Reddit is really the best site as these members amaze me with their knowledge.
You will have to join and it is some 'trouble' but it will be worth it.
