The owner is thinking of selling it but has no idea where to start and neither do I. He also has some paintings that look pretty old and one has, what looks to be an auction ticket on the back that says:
Da Vinci:
Madonna,
Child, St. John
Just going to have to take this stuff somewhere and get a value. Or just start high with a price and see what happens.
He's got a lot of other stuff, but this chair, these paintings, and some old wooden weight scales (says they are 150 years old, has date on scale) and what he brought to my attention right now.
