<p>[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 3843421, member: 5170"]Nice walnut arm chair ca. 1880s, mostly Eastlake in style with some lingering Renaissance Revival around the edges. It's a chair that would have been part of a multi-piece parlor set that would have included a sofa, maybe a love seat/settee, another arm chair and some side chairs.</p><p><br /></p><p>We are (hopefully) coming out of a long depression in brown furniture prices. There are hints here and there, but for your purposes this chair is probably not worth much. I hope you intend to keep it after you reupholster it. At auction in my part of the U.S. Midwest it might bring $50-$75. Hope that improves in the next few years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
