Found some old wingback chairs - do they have any value?
« on: May 05, 2013, 07:51:53 pm »
I bought these a while ago, and my mom texted me saying she saw a pair just like mine sell on eBay for a bit of money. So I thought I'd so some research - and havn't found anything. There are tags on the chairs but just info on how they were made, nothing for a brand name. Plus there are some scartch marks from a cat, so there not in mint condition either. Take a look, do these have any value?

Looks like 1970s. In mid Missouri they'd be worth maybe $20-$30 each.

I'll stick with 70s. You're aesthetic evaluation, however, is spot on, IMO.
