Antique Questions Forum / Re: Wicker Doll Carriage, Trash or Treasure

« on: March 21, 2010, 02:05:11 pm »

Thanks for the reply KC. The ebay guide was a help.

We bought the buggy at an estate sale that had a collection of antique dolls. We were able to find some of them in a doll book. Dawna knows quite a bit about dolls, but neither of us knows anything about doll buggies, or wicker. Other things we bought there have proven to be for real. Of course they could have been conned.

Getting it appraised might be a problem in Las Vegas.
 
We got stung at a yard sale, not on ebay. If we had read the ebay guide before buying we wouldn't have. The curled handle would hav been a clue.

Antique Questions Forum / Wicker Doll Carriage, Trash or Treasure

Hi,

We acquired this wicker doll carriage recently and are wondering if it is authentic. We got stung once on one. Also interested in the age, possible maker and value.

It is a little over 24 inches overall length and measures 26 inches high to the handle.

Thank you,
Dawna & Dan

I emailed the seller listing the (similar) chair with the information about ours. We had hoped that they would exchange information.

The response was far less than we had hoped for. It was a solicitation a site to give valuations for 3.99GBP.

Oh well, it was worth a try,
Dan

Thanks for the responses folks!

Some of those links were very interesting.

We looked it over again, for a sig, and we did find a number stamped into the bottom of the seat frame, T9557. Does that give us any information?

Thanks again,
Dawna & Dan

Hi All,

We are new to this forum. This is our first post here.

Can someone give us some information about this child’s chair? Or, it might be a doll chair. When we acquired it it was with a collection of antique dolls, so we’re not sure of its intended purpose.

The chair is 22 1/2 inches tall and the seat is 12 inches square.

We would like to learn its probable age, what its value might be and any other information. We were able to find out a little about the maker, but not much. Christie’s has auctioned some chairs from them, but nothing like this one.

Thank you,
Dawna & Dan
