<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 11224342, member: 649&quot;]Interestingly, Lloyd Loom does have an association with Heywood-Wakefield. This is a screenshot from the <a href="https://www.lloydflanders.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.lloydflanders.com/" rel="nofollow">Lloyd Flanders website</a>, currently manufacturing Lloyd Loom wicker.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]538794[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason, what they don&#039;t mention is that Heywood-Wakefield bought the rights to Lloyd Loom&#039;s woven wicker technology in 1921 and went on to popularize it.</p><p>So it does seem that your set would date from 1917-21, since your label doesn&#039;t mention Heywood-Wakefield.</p><p>It&#039;s a pity that this stuff isn&#039;t really popular anymore. I agree with what others are indicating here, an appraisal is likely to cost more than the value of the items and your own purchase price is an indicator of current desirability.</p><p>People are more familiar with the Heywood-Wakefield name, not the Lloyd Loom name.</p><p>On the other hand... you never know! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Current eBay item 325551715524 is your desk/chair, painted black, with an <i>asking</i> price of $900. (Note the label on that set does mention Heywood-Wakefield.)</p><p>I, for one, like the original finish on yours and wouldn&#039;t paint it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
