    thumbnail_20180124_191300.jpg thumbnail_20180120_095305.jpg Hi,
    I have pics of a chair that was donated. My husband didn't think it was anything special.
    It belonged to his grandmother, so I thought it must be near 100 years old. Sorry the pics aren't close up but the chair wasn't the reason for taking them.
    Any info would be appreciated.
    It's the brown wood backed chair with the beige fabric.

    Thank you.

    Your husband was right about the age; it had the wooden wheels on two legs to aid sweeping under it. Those vanished right after or right before WWI. A real expert may be along later who'll know if those sell for any money. It looked a nice sturdy piece, so odds are someone will buy it to fix up.

    Circa 1910. Empire revival. Not a lot of value right now, particularly if it needed upholstery.

    They can sell for decent money if redone, and you don't count your labor/time as part of the cost.
