<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 3385463, member: 37"]Your first chair looks to be about 1890, aesthetic movement, and walnut. Second chair looks pretty modern, in an abbreviated Chippendale style, and a mahogany finish. The bureau (we would call it a drop-front desk) looks to be 20th century, early to pre-WWII and also walnut. Your last chair is a mid to late 19th century balloon-back. Hard to tell wood in this pic but likely mahogany. </p><p><br /></p><p>Value is market specific so you really need to compare to similar items where you are or consult with someone locally. That said, I assume you are in the UK and my understanding is that prices are depressed there as much or more than here across the pond. I think Komokwa's prices (CDN) a bit too high for my Midwest US market on the chairs. Maybe $40, $25, $35 (USD) in order. When converted to USD, he is probably spot-on with the bureau.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
