<p>[QUOTE="mark737, post: 9614582, member: 14894"]I love Dunbar furniture and have bought and sold a fair amount of it, including a pair of chairs I sold through a high-end auction house. Wormley, by the way, was the Director of Design for Dunbar and is credited with all designs (with a few exceptions) from at least 1947 until he retired in 1968. I agree with everything Brad wrote and would add that the cost to have these reupholstered might be close to what you could eventually sell them for. If you could reupholster them yourself, that would certainly help. I saw one with decent fabric upholstery that sold at auction for $400. That seems about right, and obviously leather would sell for more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
