<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 4340648, member: 738"]The set is lovely, hand-carving, perhaps rosewood, but I'm not good at that. A middle-grade set I would say and worth a bit. It does not look in poor condition. C 1900, would help to see the legs. The lyre-back classical revival side chair is not an expensive piece. c. 1920s-30s . Quite common form. The two Eastlake side chairs are older, c.1880s. Looks as if she had them re-done to imitate an ebonized finish, a common treatment during the Anglo-Japanese Aesthetic Movement. Often you will see gold detailing in the incised areas. If these were mine, I would reupholster the settee and matching chair, and the Eastlake pair in period correct fabrics, and sell the lyre-back for $25.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
