Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Last thing that I didnt see answered, are these likely American made chairs, or from somewhere in Europe?

I don't know for sure. If they bring $50 bucks a piece redone then I would just keep them for fun chairs around the poker table. If a more expensive fix would bring the price up, I may sell. If it is expensive either way, I would just sell as is.

Thanks, so are these chairs likely American made or made somewhere in Europe?  What would be a decent price to get them reupholstered?  I know a carpenter that may be able to fix the woodwork.  I know a little of old cards and coins, where restoring is a no-no. How important is it to get the repairs era accurate and how much should one expect to pay to get new fabric applied?

Stumbled across these two chairs, I have zero antique furniture knowledge so any information would be appreciated.  Looking for the basics, age/origins/value etc.

Sorry for the not so great photos-



















The chairs are the same wood-wise, just the finishing fabric is different.  One chair obviously has a broken arm, any ideas on price to restore and repair them vs. selling as is?
