Maybe Art nouveau- full set of chairs/settee with organic sunburst theme

Profile picture for user michellem900

Description

I have a full set of 3 chairs and 2 settee/sofas in the same theme.  The set came from a historic home in Canton Mississippi where the same family built/owned the home since 1852. So I suspect that the furniture was made sometime since then.   The set has been recovered (some photos are from before it was recovered to help identify , the white chair is current)  the wood is in good condition, I think  it may have some repairs, but I cannot detect them..  The wheels are made of wood.  I cannot find this design with the "sun" anywhere, but my guess is that this was made during the Art Nouveau era due to the organic design elements.  Any information would be great.   I am considering selling the set but have no idea what it is worth.
