Accurate Description of Item
One 20th century Reproduction bentwood chair, the chair with a caned seat and back
Appraiser Remarks
Your chair is actually quite modern, it's reproduction of a late 19th Century Bentwood Chair first popularized by the Thonet company. Most chairs like this seldom date before the 1970's, the majority made for the decorator market in the 1980's when the demand for originals began to exceed supply and their high values made reproduction economically feasible. Values for these reproductions tend to be modest, with comparable chairs now often selling at auction for less than $50.00.
Estimated Value
