    Dimitar, a big welcome to you. Your English is wonderful. Your photographs are good.

    I like the fabric upholstery covering the chairs.

    Other people will be able to tell you more about your furniture.

    Again, a big welcome to you.

    Big thanks for the warm wellcoming .
    Ialso thing the fabrics are good and the best thing in them is that they are very thick.
    I will post better detail photos after 3 or 4 days including the couch.

    Your first is empire revival circa 1910. The second is a bit harder to pin. To me it looks like a circa 1930s revival piece but it could be older, like the one you found. I am not sure that neo-renaissance really means anything. The chair is an Italian Elizabethan/Jacobean form. Your chair is obviously not a period example but, whether 20th century or 19th century, I can't tell from this photo.

    Hi Dimitar,
    Welcome to the board. Are the pieces here in the USA or back in Germany? If you were thinking of resale to the US, shipping would be more than the cost.

    This really isn't a site to gather price information.....but someone may venture an opinion.

    It also depends on the market where you are situated.....unless the item is of great value and sought after in different markets.

    Not a lot of value here in the states. The Empire revival stuff you would need to practically give away. Assume the chair to be circa 1930, I would think in the $50.00 - $100.00 range retail. If 19th century, maybe double that if you found the person who really cares.

    Welcome Dimitar.

    Prices used to be higher for furniture like this.

    for a realistic price, better ask in Germany where you can also drop the name of the family (which might be a bonus if sold to a Bussi Bussi in Munich)
