i have a chair that goes w/the desk...what added value could i expect, if any?  you probably need
a pix, but i'm not sure if chairs for this desk are of one type.

i purchased this desk from a very old friend, for he felt the desk was quite valuable...not being all that familiar w/antiques, i was hoping someone might be able to enlighten me as to its worth. 

it's quarter sawn tiger oak, very popular during the art's & craft's movement, according to one reply.

tks!
