<p>[QUOTE="Jimmy Guthrie, post: 9775555, member: 86436"]Thanks, [USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] . I think I got a good deal when I bought them. They had been paired with a table but someone bought the table and didn’t want the chairs. The seller was ready to pack up and said, “Make me an offer and they’re yours.” I think I gave him $200 for the 10 chairs. Looks like people online are asking between 3 and 20 times that. </p><p>Here are some listings and some descriptive words I pulled that may apply to my chairs. If you have a sec, please let me know if these sound accurate: antique, 19th century, American, Federal period, handmade, hand carved, maple (burl/curly/birds-eye?), fruitwood, lyre-back, cane seat, saber leg. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1427542978/antique-hand-carved-burl-maple-lyre" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1427542978/antique-hand-carved-burl-maple-lyre" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/1427542978/antique-hand-carved-burl-maple-lyre</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/10775126/19th-century-cane-seat-fruitwood-dining-chairs-set-of-6" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.chairish.com/product/10775126/19th-century-cane-seat-fruitwood-dining-chairs-set-of-6" rel="nofollow">https://www.chairish.com/product/10775126/19th-century-cane-seat-fruitwood-dining-chairs-set-of-6</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/9363207/early-19th-century-antique-set-of-4-curly-maple-birds-eye-maple-saber-leg-dining-chairs" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.chairish.com/product/9363207/early-19th-century-antique-set-of-4-curly-maple-birds-eye-maple-saber-leg-dining-chairs" rel="nofollow">https://www.chairish.com/product/9363207/early-19th-century-antique-set-of-4-curly-maple-birds-eye-maple-saber-leg-dining-chairs</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
