hall chair

About ten years ago, a local antiques dealer/auctioneer appraised some of my mother's things. I am curious as to the accuracy his appraisal of a hall chair. He wrote: "English Georgian era side chair, mahogany, shaped back with corner rosettes, shaped seat, tapering reeded front legs, back with raised shield painted with Irish royal coat-of-arms, ca. 1830-1840, $450." Does this sound correct with respect to age and value? Does anyone know anything else about this type of chair and/or the coat-of-arms? I can't quite make out the word on the banner, but there appears to be an "S" below it. Would that be an individual family's coat-of-arms?
