This unusual wicker chair is likely Heywood-Wakefield
Shirley asks:
I am sending the following picture of a wicker chair I have purchased. I have been searching for days in trying to find something that looks like this chair. It is pretty good condition. What do you think this chair might be worth?
AW says: That's a 1910s -20s Wicker Chair. It could very well be made by the predominant Wicker furniture manufacturer of the time, Heywood-Wakefield of Gardner MA. It certainly has the style and lines of a H-W piece. Originally it would have had a paper label underneath, but most of these labels peeled away over the years. That appears to be the original paint, so points for that. There is a renewed interest in
wicker, it's especially a favorite among people that have a passion for gardening and landscaping.
Date range: 1910s-20s
Retail value: $175-$225
(top price)
Wholesale value:$100-$125
(The midrange price you could expect to achieve at a well advertised live auction. The price that is most often realized)
Quick sale value:$50-$75
The price your likely to get if you have to sell your item immediately and your prospective customer is aware of this.
Common trade terminology: Wicker Chair,
Heywood- Wakefield, Heywood brothers furniture,
Care and storage tips:
Although lightweight, wicker is very strong and if kept from moisture and long periods of direct sunlight it should last many more years.
