    Hi just wondering if anyone can let me know what era my Nanas lounge is. Also would love to know the type of wood was used. I can remember this lounge from when I was little, but I'm not sure how long my Nana had it for before the. Not sure if it's a Jacobean era, and how much would you think it would be worth. It's in great condition as you can see, any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Welcome to the forums especially another Susan!

    Definitely not Jacobean. Style looks more Mission or Arts & Crafts that dates c1900 to 1930. I have a hard time determining between them. Nowww do wait for more knowledgeable furniture folks to chime in like Brad, and others.

    Have you looked the pieces over thoroughly - back and underside - for any maker's name or label?

    Interesting pieces and someone did a nice job on the newer upholstery. I think these are 30s. While they have some mission influence with form, including those slat sides and wide arms, the traditional details place these into the Depression era. The only place I can even vaguely see any wood detail makes me think these are oak. A better pic might confirm.

    It's Mission Oak type furniture. They may be signed.

    It looks halfway between the Arts and Crafts period and 30s overstuffed. Beyond that, you've got me. I'm still using my grandmother's set from circa 1921. It's not going anywhere.

    Oh goodness! Welcome!

    I'm in the US as are quite a few on these boards however there are people from all over. I have a friend from the UK that would call this a lounge while where I am it's a little unusual to hear. It might make a difference when looking for a maker etc. based on location.

    Now that I can see the wood better in this latest pic, I can say it is not oak. It is some more nondescript wood stained to mimic mahogany. What that wood is would depend on where these were made. If European, likely beech. American, would probably be birch. Australia??? Gum???

    Look for a name plate underneath, all over the place. It would generally be on the wood if the seat is done in webbing.
