Dear Marcia,

Thank you for your request. The presented object is a set of two armchairs. They have a characteristic bend plywood backrest, tripod legs and are labeled on the bottom. These chairs were designed by Philippe STARCK (1949) and are titles "Costes". The design was made in 1982 and they are produced by Driade.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 300 to 600 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With best regards,
Georg
