<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 176701, member: 37"]Agree that the lighter finish really doesn't hurt this as it isn't really a fine antique. It is nicer than many I see and the upholstery is a nice neutral compliment. I particularly like the carving detail at the back corners. Still not a lot of value to this, as it is not in fashion these days. Here in semi-rural Midwest, I could see top dollar at $350.00 in a nice shop. Most places, it would be significantly less and I would think at auction under $100.00 most places. In large cities or other places where formal furniture is still in vogue, I could see this being a bit higher.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
