I was hoping to get more information and possibly a value for this vintage French Provincial 3 cushion gold tufted sofa and matching accent chairs. Any information is greatly appreciated.

You need to know who manufactured it. Look underneath the furniture and underneath the cushions.
I was told this furniture and the coffee table and end tables I also posted were purchased as a set. The only thing found was a stamp of numbers. No name at all.
Can you post the stamp of numbers you found? May be able to help you by using those. I know someone would love to have these pieces and do a project on them. Depending on areas prob $100+. I can try to find more info once I see what the numbers are.
Thanks & good luck!
This is the only thing that we could find on the furniture. I was told the Gold furniture and the coffee table and end tables, that I also have posted on this site, were purchased as a set.
This is probably a 1940s set. Looks like the original upholstery.
I don't see a table posted.
Where I am these don't sell well and a set like this may fetch $200 if it sold. We have so much of this style around that the supply is high and the demand low, so it drives prices way down.
That said, are places up and down the east coast, especially around New Jersey and the Carolinas where French Providential style is still sought after, and can fetch up to $1000 for a nice set.
In most places you will need to piece it out because people will want one piece to fill a space. You could get lucky and find someone who wants it all, but your best bet is to price it by piece with a discount if they take the whole set.
My best suggestion to find value where you are is to call a resale shop and find out how much you would pay to buy it in your town (retail) then subtract off 20% of what you as a person selling it will get.
Furniture is hard to sell. You can do Facebook groups like local Sale Want Trade, For Sale or Trade etc. but then you will have to have people traipsing in and out of your house and you can't do this alone.
They also have to have a way to get it to their home--which is always a problem.
The best way to sell and maximize your profits with the least hassle is to have a consignment store or vintage shop sell it for you.
You will get a percent of the sale and your space back while it is selling.
Post back what you decide! Best wishes!
Hi,
I have the tables posted on a different post. I do believe this is the original upholstery.
I apologize, it looks like the question about the coffee table and end tables were not posted yet and still pending for some reason. This is the end tables.
Thanks for the additional photos. I am going to revise my first post as I think these are revival pieces from the 1970s--based on the number and marking on the table (if you said all were bought together).
That may lower the value a little, although the tables are really lovely. Very good condition!
Best to see what the market is in your town and set your values that way.
Where I am the newer pieces would sell for about 100 total (just too much of it here). The newer pieces may still fetch a decent amount in other places (like I mentioned before the East Coast still seems to buy this style consistently). The tables alone could fetch $100 EACH in that kind of market.
Post back with how your sale goes and what you learn for where you are located!
If you are trying to sell so many pieces, have you contacted an estate sale buyer? We have some here who will buy 1 piece to a whole house worth. Often it is the best way to proceed with multiple pieces that you don't want the hassle of selling yourself.
Thanks for sharing the new info!
According to my grandmothers sister, my grandmother bought this set in 1966.
So the "64" in the numbering is probably the year the pattern was released.
That is good info (that it was bought in 1966) to take to the dealer to help you sell it! People love to know the stories that go with the furniture.
I hope you are able to fetch a nice amount in your town!! Post back with an update!
Auction house could bring more than $200,also advertise,there are people who love this style to fit there decor with new upholstery!
