Anyone have any idea what these chairs would be worth?
« on: August 23, 2009, 11:36:52 am »
Inherited from my Grandparents but not much use for them now.

I believe they're Victorian Walnut, but would like to know for sure and what they might be worth.

Thanks,
Paul

Yes, early victorian by my guess.  How many do you have and are they matching?

Victorian Balloon back's popularity was circa 1860's thru the 1870's average value. $350.00 to $600.00 Dollars per chair.

Totally agree with D&b. (If you say it fast enough it rhymes!)  :0

Would lean more towards the higher end if they are in very good shape.

Thanks! They are beautiful. I wish I had a place for them.

They're just not that comfortable and don't fit in anywhere in our house.

    It would seem in the victorian age comfort was second to how it looked, I hear the Baroque was even worse.
