Re: karpan
Your set actually dates from the second quarter of the 20th Century. The Karpen & Bros. furniture company was established in Chicago in 1880 by German immigrants Solomon and Oscar Karpen. At the height of their success in the early 20th century, the company employed several hundred people, and was considered a leader in the upholstered furniture market. Karpen was purchased in 1952 by the Schnadig Corporation.
Currently there is not a lot of demand for furniture of this type and vintage, but Karpen was a well respected maker, so it gets a bit of a bump in value. If this set is in very good condition it could retail for about $1500.00
