<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 4413316, member: 5170&quot;]Yes, Victorian Rococo Revival/Renaissance Revival chair ca. 1860-70. Walnut. A &quot;balloon back&quot; armchair that probably belonged to a parlor set featuring a sofa and/or settee, several armchairs, and several (armless) sidechairs. You&#039;ve got nice old (but not original) upholstery that your great grandmother may have contributed to. In any case, the chair was decades old on the day your great grandmother was born. In the absence of a tag or old handwriting, it will be virtually impossible to say who made the chair; it may very well have been a cabinet maker in North Carolina as you noted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very nice chair but not distinguished as far as being a product of a &quot;name&quot; maker goes, and not worth a lot because of the ongoing brown furniture depression, although hopefully that will end in the next 10 years. Maybe $50-$100 at auction on a sunny day here in the U.S. Midwest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
