Is this antique?

Thanks, AF.
I don't buy/sell but I love the insight.

 

Around here you'd be lucky to give a single chair away. I go into the local Habitat for Humanity ReStore on a weekly basis and watch what moves. I only buy furniture if it's something I need myself, but it's fun looking and they sell a ton of it. It's also a good way to see what goes and what stays. They had a dresser with hand cut dovetails that didn't sell until it was marked down to $75. It needed a little work, but then at 150+ years old you will too.

 

The chair sold over the weekend, so I guess we priced it well. Thanks for the info!!!

Interestingly, people do buy single chairs here. They make good accent pieces.

 

Either that, or somebody had the rest of the set and was missing that chair. Sometimes it's worth any reasonable price to avoid the whole "try to find another one" scenario.
