Good afternoon, Zach, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. If these were period (ie, 18th or 19th Century old, antique) English Windsor armchairs, I would expect to see more signs of wear (abrasions, shrinkage, compression on the underside of the foot, etc) than I am seeing in the photographs attached. These are almost certainly of 20th Century manufacture; currently worth at auction between $50-100 PER CHAIR and would be catalogued for auction, as follows: A set of six vintage English Windsor bowback armchairs 20th Century Height 38 1/2 inches, Width 22 inches, Depth 21 inches, Seat Height 17 1/2 inches, Seat Depth 18 1/2 inches, Seat Width 20 1/2 inches, Arm Height - between 27 1/2 and 28 inches PROVENANCE: acquired from an antique dealer who reportedly acquired them in England in the 1990s $300-600* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
