Re: Pre-Civil War Dining chair set
Rococo style chairs were made from about 1840 onward, but those with more simple lines like these tend to date from about 1870. Values for them at the moment have dropped considerably from the peak demand for balloon back and spoon back chairs in the late 1980's to early 90's. The side chairs often sell now at auction for under $50.00, the armchairs under $200.00
