Could anyone please help me identify this chair and determine its value if possible? It's been in my family for years, I obtained it when my gran passed away. There is no maker mark at all.
Looking at this chair I want to say it used to be a desk chair that had an issue and a person took it apart and used the frame to create this new chair. They have made the cushions to put on the chair and also put the arm pieces on this chair. I really don't believe this is an antique chair of any kind and it is not easy to establish who has made this chair. If you want to sell this chair I would sell this locally.

Now that we have knowledge of the brand and name it should be much easier to find a current value.
I hope the covering can be cleaned but perhaps it should be done professionally if top value is to be had.
I found a couple of examples of this chair - different type of upholstery - one for sale with footstool (UK).

Also similar with footstool sold (2016 - UK) for $3,068
Just showing these because they have great information that can partially be used if chair is listed for sale.
This one is listed for sale - restored leather - great information.
Apparently these chairs are more popular in the UK as information is scarce in the US. Shipping will be high.
But, since these are 'rare' in the US, if someone really likes something, and, has the finances to support it, they will pay a higher amount for the item and pay high shipping cost.
If I had this chair my first move would be to find someone in a high-end upholstery shop and have all of the upholstery cleaned so that it would look fresh and inviting.
Starting price could be set high -$3,000 (or best offer) - and leave it sit for a few weeks but if no one inquires or no offers, lower the price and go from there.
These are just suggestions that might help sell chair for a good price.
Some people may be having financial problems right now but there is still a large portion of the public that are well set and can buy whatever they desire.
I found these in my grandmother's basement. They have been there for over 60 years. Can you tell me the approximate age and the value (if any)?
Thanks
It is a little difficult to define the style of your chairs.
Your chairs look like Louis XIV style chairs, but they are not connected by H- or X-shaped stretchers, which is a distinctive feature of the Louis XIV style chairs.
I think you have William & Mary Style armchairs. Furniture of this style is defined by Flemish scroll legs (exactly like your second chair) and column design style of the trumpet legs.
I think if you refurbish your chairs the price will be $ 250-500 (one chair).

Hi there. We received this chair as a gift and unfortunately have no room for it. We know that it was valuable but cannot find any markings anywhere except made in Italy.
Can anyone help tell me the value or how I can find the value? It has great craftsmanship and a leather sleeve that zips over. Thank you

You may want to have your chair professionally appraised if you plan to sell it.
I have 6 chairs (a similar rocking chair too) that match a cherrywood dining room table and hutch that I'm almost certain my dad had custom made. I have re-done the hutch and painted it black (I know, I know... but the wood is so thick it can be sanded 100 more times). I don't believe these chairs were custom made, though I can not find any markings. I think the seat portion is twisted paper. I'm pretty sure they are from the 50s or 60s and in amazing shape.
I genuinely want to keep and use them with the rest of the dining pieces I have. I know I haven't caused any irreversible damaged to the hutch and table by painting it, I don't know if that would be the case with these chairs. I just don't want to be that person who ruined a $500.00 dollar chair. I'd love to hear what you think. Thank you.
I personally think before I did any work on them I would talk with an antique dealer in your area. These could be of value because they are so different and I can't find anything like them online anywhere. I would see some advice from an antique furniture store or even a company that refinishes antique furniture before I went any further.
I got these 4 beautiful Windsor chairs a week ago and would like to get an idea of how much they're worth. I do know they were handmade by a craftsman in Bucks County Philadelphia in 1977 because on the bottom of all four chairs he wrote his name, county, and year that he made them.
The ones I have seen are $175 and up.
