<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 3580466, member: 5066&quot;]Hard to say as the listing was messed up from the get-go but, the armchair was English and sold for $275. perhaps the side chair was English as well.</p><p>Similar form pieces that are American generally speaking sell for more money because they are much rarer for one thing, we didn&#039;t have the population that Europe did in those days.</p><p>Ditto southern early furniture, because of war &amp; climate there is much less early southern furniture that survives so it tends to sell for more than similar form new england pieces.</p><p>Just looked at the English armchair, the back feet were ended out several inches so condition played a role here as well.</p><p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/96516178_george-ii-mahogany-armchair-c-1760-height-40-inches" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/96516178_george-ii-mahogany-armchair-c-1760-height-40-inches" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/96516178_george-ii-mahogany-armchair-c-1760-height-40-inches</a></p><p>Another factor is, when you screw up a listing as badly as this auction house did at a time when online sales are critical as in-person sales are very sketchy due to virus issues, I not surprised the side chair was passed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
