Price of one chair...plus/minus??
ReplyDeleteIt is not so easy to determine the price of antique furniture. There are several factors that affect the value of antique furniture. Most important among these are the condition, age, history and rarity of the piece. Who made the furniture, and in what style and era? Does it have an interesting history, and is it free from nicks, scratches and other damage? Does it have extensive repairs and how sensitive was the repairs done? Please email me with a photo of the chair.
