AI Appraisal
Description Purchased these cute little chairs from the grand daughter of the owners (her grandparents, who lived near Boise Idaho and in Sisters OR (near Bend)). They are small: 35” tall, seat height is 18”, width is 14.5” We are guessing at the date that they were made...based upon research of West-Rest Furniture in Boise ID which opened in 1936, and then were made by (?name of company?) in Bend, OR that purchased West-Rest in 1938. We do not know how long the chairs were produced in Bend, nor the estimated date of the chairs. The designer was a Mr. Kruse.
