<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 240129, member: 37"]As Johnny suggests, the sofa is French Provincial and the styling suggests 1960s. Popular in some areas, not so much others so location is important. I am in the Midwest where this is less popular. Would probably be worth more than Johhny's price in California. The Lincoln style rocker and the chair after likely date to the 30s-40s and, if in very good condition, maybe $75-100.00 at retail here. Auction and dealer prices 1/3-1/2 that. Can't tell if the Victorian balloon-back is period or a later reproduction. Either way, out of fashion right now so probably not worth much more than the other 2 chairs. All three chairs could have been reupholstered and nicely done (First definitely). None of this is junk and has some value. How easy you can sell and how much you can get will depend on location.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
