If doing it to save a beautiful antique, then it might be worth it.&nbsp; It is a shame that so many such projects don&#039;t ever get done.&nbsp; You might look at similar chairs to see what they sell for and decide accordingly.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The missing rail could just be reinforced with plain lumber and upholstered over.&nbsp; Some such chairs were originally done this way.&nbsp; Any way you look at it, it is a daunting project.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had an even more ornate mahogany tub chair from about the same period that I had always planned to fix.&nbsp; After languishing in my basement for about 20 years, I finally sold it for about $30.00 at a garage sale in anticipation of a move.&nbsp; Kind of killed me to sell it for so little but the enthusiastic young couple that bought it probably had more chance of getting the project done than I did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
