In my area....central Iowa....we don't see stuff like that. And if we do....it goes for maybe $20 to $40....because no one knows it from K-Mart stuff.
There may be a high end decorator shop in a couple of the more eclectic cities wehre something like that would bring $100 in as is condition....or $400 or more re done...but you would have to search!

How would they make any profit on them redone at that price? The chair takes six yards of fabric and the cheapest hobsack you can use on a chair like this retails at $38, so nets somewhere around $20, so thats $120+ for the fabric, no labor and the labor on these is relatively intensive and specialized. To replace the original fabric with the same would be $77 a yard.

(not as much as the Swan chair, which is covered in two pieces of fabric hand stitched on like a baseball..the labor is almost $1000 on those)

Perhaps the high cost of fixing them leads them to the landfill?

They've never been out of production, so the importance of new vs old has questionable relevance, unless it is very early and has a rare, early fabric in good condition. For reference, a new one is $3500-$5500 depending upon upholstery.

Hammer price + buyer's premium + sales tax was slightly under $2000.00 for the pair and that was considered a pretty good deal.
