Is This Chair Worth the Price?
« on: July 07, 2014, 11:54:38 pm »
Hi,
I'm wondering if someone can provide me with information on the following chair (approx. year and location of construction, value etc.). I'm not yet familiar with antiques so all information is appreciated.
Thanks!
Stefanie

Whats the price?
Looks like a victorian era arm chair

The price is being negotiated. In your opinion, what would be a reasonable asking price?

Well, $70 is certainly reasonable in my view.

It was part of a parlor set around 1880. There would have been a ladies chair and a love seat.
