<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 9859817, member: 6444&quot;]Ghopper quite correctly said “in the manner of” RJ Horner. The truth is that there were many, many furniture companies in the US borrowing each others ideas at the tail end of the Victorian period. For that reason, a few of the more prominent companies often have pieces loosely attributed to them incorrectly these days.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to know whether these are in fact from Horner company, you should contact the Fontaine auction company, which specializes in their furniture: <a href="https://www.fontainesauction.com/buy-sell/auction-estimate/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.fontainesauction.com/buy-sell/auction-estimate/" rel="nofollow">https://www.fontainesauction.com/buy-sell/auction-estimate/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>They can give you the best estimate for value. You should not get your hopes too high, however. At the end of the day, two dining side chairs are not going to be in relatively high demand. But it will be interesting to find out what Fontaine can tell you about the maker, value, and whether they are interested in consigning them. So please let us know what they say (start by sending them better pictures).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
