This chair has been hidden away in storage and I came across it the other day. Can anyone tell me anything about please?
Thank you.
\\\\\\\\you can search E-Bay.You will need to go over the chair for dates,numbers,names.Also go on etsy there is a website I found a chair that resembles yours for 249.00.www.etsy.com/
This is a very lovely piece with all the craving details. Without markings, maker details, makes it harder to research. Inspect the chair underneath for any details. If not take your pictures to a antique/dealer to see if they can help to identify this lovely piece!
I am trying to find the value of my Carver back chair?
I am not clear on your question since the photo here is not, at least that I can see, a Carver Back chair.
I could be totally off here and getting two things mixed up. How I see it is your chair has lovely turned legs, but it does not have a rush (woven) seat and it does not have the standard three vertical and three horizontal spindles in the back that I was always taught were the hallmarks of a Carver chair. Is there rush under the upholstery? Are there places where the spindles are missing?
That said, this chair is gorgeous.
I suggest you take it to a reputable vintage dealer and have him/her look at this piece and determine what you have--whether it is a an old piece or a new repro piece. The upholstery looks newer and like it is in fair to poor condition.
It is hard to tell without more info and more photos and a dealer may see things that I am not seeing from a photo--like how the legs are affixed, how the arms are attached, etc.
They can also tell you the value for your area. In some areas even an antique version of this chair would have little value, while in other places, if it is an antique and in good shape, you may be able to fetch a tidy sum.
Furniture values, especially if you are in the US, are regional and totally dependent on supply and demand.
Please post back what you learn! I am excited to hear what the experts say!! Blessings! Thanks for sharing!
I would like to clean them up and reupholster these African teak chairs. What might they be worth?
Thank you.
These are interesting do you know their history? We don't see these where I am so I did a little research and see there is a demand in some places.... bigger cities than pgh, like NYC, Los Angeles and London.
In some circles pristine chairs,if authenticated, can sell in the 500 to 700 each.
Now refinishing may devalue them and existing conditions may devalue. This means you are best off to talk to a chair expert in your city who can first authenticate (unless you have the original bill of sale) and who can tell you which is the least of the devalue...as is or refinished.
Now if these are for you to love and keep, have fun and enjoy them!! They are a great find!!
My mother passed away and I have three sets of her vintage chairs. I would like to know what they are worth if I was going to resell them.
Thank you!
Can anyone tell me what style chair this is and maybe a time period it was made? It appears to have been reupholstered. There are no tags underneath and I can't find any markings either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It looks like a type of Queen Anne chair to me. This type of chair has been produced for many years. Without identifying markings it will be hard to determine the age.
These velour chairs are in great shape. I am the original owner. I am trying to determine their value.
This one is the same style with a different fabric. It sold for $50.
