<p>[QUOTE=&quot;F pul, post: 12140369, member: 88850&quot;]Hi everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m hoping someone here can help identify the origin and give a realistic valuation for this complete salon set of 4 armchairs that belonged to my grandmother her entire life.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I know:</p><p>• Set of 4 — 2 &quot;gentleman&#039;s chairs&quot; with fully upholstered arms, 2 &quot;lady&#039;s chairs&quot; with open carved wooden arms</p><p>• Purchased in the Netherlands approximately 70 years ago</p><p>• Originally green, professionally reupholstered ~20 years ago in dusty pink velours (cost approx. €4,000 for the full set at the time)</p><p>• Solid oak frames with ornate carved woodwork — acanthus leaf and scroll motifs, ball feet</p><p>• The open and closed variants each have their own distinct carving style</p><p>• The carving appears to be handmade but I cannot confirm this</p><p>• Maker/brand unknown, will check underneath the fabric soon</p><p>• Fabric is in good condition (some minor light fading), 2 of 4 chairs need some work on the springs</p><p><br /></p><p>The set has always stayed in one family home in the Netherlands and is now looking for a new owner as my grandmother moves to a care home.</p><p><br /></p><p>My questions:</p><p>1. Does anyone recognize the style, maker or period more specifically?</p><p>2. What would be a realistic asking price for a complete set like this in today&#039;s market?</p><p>3. Any idea whether this is Dutch craftsmanship or possibly Belgian/French? They have been bought by my grandmother approx. 70 years ago and have always been in her posession and handled with great care. Have been reupholstered twice on their lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy to share more photos if needed. Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]552114[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552115[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552116[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552117[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552118[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552119[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552120[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552121[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552123[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
