<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 2445784, member: 738"]Your first pic , the chair with matching rocker are the earliest of the group, American Empire style, circa 1840s, probably mahogany (although some may argue it's late classical, pillar and scroll) I'm not sure about the 2nd set, the "fish" heads are very similar to a Morris chair I own. The 3rd chair is walnut Renaissance Revival, circa 1860s or so. It looks to be a middle-market factory quality, so determining the maker would be difficult. The fire screen is early 20th century, in one of the romantic revival styles, a subset of the Arts and Crafts movement. You can read about the company on-line. The tapestry is fantastic, it looks like a children's fairy-tale illustration. I'd love to see the back tapestry. This one might warrant an appraisal, but that may just be my personal preference for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
