| Hi, I have had a chair for a few years now, passed down from my great grandmother. It is set low to the ground, small, and has only one arm. I cant find anything remotely close to it when searching online, as a matter of fact I cant even find a one armed chair. I have had offers on it from visitors to my home, but always refuse them. I want to know more about it. The bottom has carved wood legs and feet. It has probably been re-covered a few times, one by my mother but when she got it it was a satin soft chenille feel light blue fabric. |

Thanks Linda. I have always had it in a corner and I think its very cute. So when it comes to value, do you think it is worth anything? Also I dont know if this matters because Im not good with antiques but my mom said that before she recovered it, it was stuffed with horse hair..was that common back then? -Helen |

Horse hair was common then and is used now on very high end stuff... Yes it's worth "something"....depending on where you are....couple of hundred for sure...maybe more. I think it's cute too!!..Please take the tassles off the arm!! LOL! It's too nice to hide with a tassle. Linda C |

| Just got another opinion from an antiques dealer. He said that the chair is and off spring of the round about or corner chair, dating 1870's, the victorian aesthetic movement. value is in the range of $3,500.00 dollars. |
