Value of Antique Chairs?

Saver-Rob

I will have a look in the loft at some point and see what is left of the seats as a whole. I'd say 'not alot' but they have spent decade after decade just sitting in various lofts!

Thanks.

If you find anything of the seats at all it may well be worth adding it to the 'lot' if talking to an auctioneer. I am always surprised at what state of disrepair things are in and still attract bids from people who want to spend time to undertake a careful restoration.

The actual fabric and stuffing is not important as that is the easiest bit to restore, but any of the frames and strapping would help get a better response bidding wise.

Sorry to put a downer, but I think you will find 1920's furniture such as this is not wortha great deal.
I would be surprised if you got more than £50 for the set at auction. Don't forget they will cost an upholsterer probably £50 a chair+ in time and materials to re upholster. If they have a sentimental value I would be inclined to have them restored and keep them in the family, after fees you will get very little at auction

Well at the moment I have no idea if it is 20's or not I'm afraid!

I will try and find out and also have a look for the original seats. They dont have any real sentimental value but having them restored is very tempting. I dont know how much of it I could do myself....
