Accurate Description of Item
A Matching Rococo Revival Style Gentlemen's Chair and Settee
Appraiser Remarks
This pair are in the Rococo Revival style which was popular during the third Quarter of the 19th Century, but based on what I can see I feel they are not Victorian examples, but later reproductions. During the big run up in values for Original Victorian furniture beginning in the 1970's, reproductions in this style were made to fill the growing demand. On these pieces the carving tends to be less detailed and framing heavier. The market for furniture in this style crashed in the 1990's and as yet has never recovered.
Estimated Value
$600.00- $800.00
