What's it Worth? Auctionwally's appraisal for 6 Gothic Revival Tiger Oak chairs

July 5, 11:09 AM
 
 
   
Doran asks:

These six chairs are in excellent condition and have never been refinished. What are they worth?

AW says: Here's what I like about your chairs:

  • They're a full set of 6 dining room chairs. (Dining room chair sets of less than 6 have little value)
  • They are unusual, I'd call them a type of Gothic, Jacobean influence.
  • They have the original finish, lots of points for that.
  • The Tiger Oak backs are beautiful
Because they're a revival set and not period chairs, we're not talking telephone #s here, but let's evaluate.








Date range: 1890s-1910s

Retail value:
$450-$600, for the set.
(top price)

Wholesale value: $350
(The mid range price you could expect to achieve at a well advertised live auction. The price that is most often realized)

Quick sale value:$250-$300
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: Turn of the Century Chairs, Tiger Oak, Gothic Revival Chairs, Jacobean Style Chairs.
