I would also like to know the value of this furniture
Re: Antique settee with 3 matching arm chairs
Suites like yours are in what's called the "Colonial Revival" style and were made mainly during the first Quarter of the 20th Century. Colonial Revival pieces are reproductions of the original American Colonial items originally produced from 1620-1780. The Colonial Revival style became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876. At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so great it outstripped supply. This caused large manufacturers to begin production of pieces in the Colonial style from the Jacobean to early Georgian periods.
Today values for these suites depends on their quality of construction, how close they follow original designs and their overall condition. In the current market comparable suites to yours have a replacement value in the $300.00- $450.00 range.

Is this appraised value for all 4 pieces?
