Antique Chairs / Bureau

I wonder if anyone has any knowledge with regards the furniture in the attached photos and if anybody can put an estimated value to the items?

 

1. funky chair......75
2.nice needle point.....65
3. sweet desk...but it's brown furniture in a poor market....100
4. uncomfortable chair.....40

 

Thank you so much. What currency are you quoting in US$ or £GBP?

 

CDN...

 

Thanks.

 

Your first chair looks to be about 1890, aesthetic movement, and walnut. Second chair looks pretty modern, in an abbreviated Chippendale style, and a mahogany finish. The bureau (we would call it a drop-front desk) looks to be 20th century, early to pre-WWII and also walnut. Your last chair is a mid to late 19th century balloon-back. Hard to tell wood in this pic but likely mahogany.

Value is market specific so you really need to compare to similar items where you are or consult with someone locally. That said, I assume you are in the UK and my understanding is that prices are depressed there as much or more than here across the pond. I think Komokwa's prices (CDN) a bit too high for my Midwest US market on the chairs. Maybe $40, $25, $35 (USD) in order. When converted to USD, he is probably spot-on with the bureau.

 

Thank you so much for your reply and advice. I had no idea about the furniture (style/era) so can now do a comparison with like furniture.
What an super forum - so helpful. Thank you.
