Montgomery Ward Chair

Okay, so here's what I know- Montgomery ward is a huge company, that has been making treasures for over a hundred years. The company hired a man to write a free pamphlet giveaway (the very first Rudolph), which he wrote with his daughter (aww). I don't know anything specifically about your chair aside from the hand carved work- I'm certain that you found a wonderful piece of our history and I strongly encourage you to have it carefully reupholstered by the right professional, and give the wood a nice oiling. Maybe tighten a few screws. I really think you found a great chair worth the effort- quick question- the last picture, are those hypotenuse wood pieces under the seat not original or is it the lighting that makes it appear this way?

They also made the first zero gravity chairs, if you remember those.

This is a mass produced chair in the Federal Revival style, most of them post date 1925. Values for them in "as is" condition is very modest, often going at auction for under $50.00

Thanks, lovejoy- I was going to guess $40-$50 but I don't know enough about the chair to state a price. Solid, well made furniture is not something they make anymore.
