<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tim Naylor, post: 3393058, member: 18098&quot;]I did notice a repair to one of the arms, but no replacements that I saw.&nbsp; I remember Pook &amp; Pook putting that in their description and raised an eyebrow when I read it.&nbsp; I will say, that in this internet auction age, a lot of auction houses are over-cautious, sometimes incorrectly, in their descriptions sometimes.&nbsp; I guess for liability reasons.&nbsp; They don&#039;t want to have the item returned by the buyer for lack of correct condition report.&nbsp; And of course maybe they were right, and Joe Kindig and I missed it. </p><p><br /></p><p>There were tack holes that are a sign of earlier, probably Victorian over-upholstery, but so what.&nbsp; If I were 250 years old I&#039;d probably have a few tack holes!&nbsp; It is a great chair, and if I knew then what I know now, especially considering that steal of a price, I might have well bid on it!&nbsp; She did indeed do very WELL. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the image from my appraisal and accompanying comparables.&nbsp; I have to hold back on the appraised price for privacy reasons (heirs, lawyers, and the tax man specifically).&nbsp; Rest assured, like I said earlier, what Kiko paid was a fraction of what that chair was worth, especially pre-the antiques crash of 2008!&nbsp; You couldn&#039;t have a high quality bench-made reproduction made for three times that today.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]301658[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]301659[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
