What's it Worth? Appraisal for Stickley Brothers Maple Chairs

June 22, 10:19 PM
 
 










 



Theresa asks:

I have a pair of these Stickley Chairs, what are they worth? Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank You


AW says: Those are some very well made maple chairs circa 1958 made by Leopold Stickely. Although not nearly as popular or as pricey as the Arts & Crafts furniture made by his brothers in the earlier part of the century, these are of good quality and do have some value.

Date range:
1958

Retail value:
$250-$350 (all prices are for the pair)
(top price)

Wholesale value: $150
(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: L Stickley Chairs, Maple Chairs,

Nicknames or slang terms: Captains's chairst

Selling tips: I would put these in a good online classified venue or sell them at a local estate sale.

In most cases, I believe it would be beneficial for your to give the prospective buyer a link to this page, and to bookmark it via your favorite bookmarking service.


Care and storage tips: Keep them clean and dry, basically.
