<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 3853578, member: 5170&quot;]I hope I can rely on the expertise of the board&#039;s &quot;furnies&quot; on this one, as it may fall a bit before my period of interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>This loveseat (51&quot; wide 37&quot; high 23&quot; deep) was appraised back in the 1970s as made ca. 1830. It&#039;s highly polished mahogany, and has been in the same Kansas City family for about 100 years. A relative took a trip to Europe in 1922, and may have had this shipped back. Past that, nobody really knows where it may have come from, though it was probably not Kansas City.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, was this made in the U.S.? England? France? Obviously, it&#039;s been reupholstered. The ottoman/footrest has the same upholstery, and has four round mahogany feet, as opposed to the bracket feet on the front of the loveseat. It&#039;s always been with the loveseat, but may not be original to it. Is the appraised date of ca. 1830 accurate? Should it be called Neoclassical or Empire, stylistically?</p><p><br /></p><p>A cursory net search does not reveal anything like it. I&#039;d suppose it to be worth about $500.00 U.S. at a large city auction. Does that seem accurate?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]319171[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]319172[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]319173[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]319174[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
