Need advice - Antique Victorian Chair

[mikers]

Hello ya'll!  I'm from New Orleans.  Any experts out there care to let me know an estimated value of this chair?  I don't know anything about these chairs but I've done some research but I can't find any info on the manufacturer.  I posted a pic of the back of the chair where and identification used to be.  Thanks

Have you looked at the casters for a mfrs name ?? Style says probably 1920`s but could be earlier !!

[mikers]

Thanks,  I will give it a try

[mart]

How many of these chairs do you have ?? Do they match ??

Beautiful piece.  It has been reupholstered...and appears nicely done from what I can see.

Any markings?  Can you please post a close up of the feet?  (Not too close though!)

[mart]

Did you see the one above KC ??  Scroll foot !!  I think late Vic. Revival into Art Nouveau period !!

Since you are in New Orleans with many old Victorian homes you have a better chance to sell them than in many other cities !!

Nice chair. Do you have the slightly smaller sized model to make the "Mr and Mrs set" of parlor chairs?

I don't know if they have ever actually quit manufacturing this style. I've had a set that originated from Carlton McLendon Furniture Co.in the 30's(?). They were very well done.

Thanks all.  This is the only one I have.  Here is a close up

Also I could not find any markings other than whats posted above.  It looks like a metal used to be screwed in and is now outlined.  Thanks

Sorry Guess I misread the original post !! Thought you said "chairs" !!  As to value,, if in excellent condition and in your area,, the chair might bring anywhere between $150. and $225. !! I know that's a broad range but if it needed to be recovered or just cleaned price would be lower end,,!!  This style is not as popular as it once was but like I said,, you have an advantage where you are !!

Agree about the time period from what I can see (a hands-on inspection might be needed to verify good condition of wood.)

Towards the $200 to $225 value in our area (Dallas/Ft Worth) but like Mart said, would hold more value in New Orleans easily.  I am in Shreveport often and it would hold a $200 - $275 value there.

Great thanks a lot!

On my screen the top rail is cut off. is there any motif up there?

[mikers]

It has this..

Yes, looks like an early 20th reproduction.

They probably sell better in the US than they do here. Period ones, including the nursing variety, still sell well though
