Help with Chairs
« on: January 01, 2006, 03:17:51 pm »
Hi, I am new to the anitque world and recently started my adventure by purchasing a couple of new chairs.  I can't identify the era or style and would very much appreciate any help that you could provide.

You can view the chairs at this link:

Thank you very much!

Purchase without knowing value?  That's the easy part.

1.  I see it
2.  I love it and gotta' have it
3.  I can afford it
4.  I buy it

Because I pay attention to step #3 I've done okay most of my life - some stuff finally increased in value over time - but the important thing was step #2.  I buy for enjoyment of the item and not as an investment.  

This is what happens to those of us who collect "stuff".  It's fun.   KB
