Re: Tell City Chair Company

Tried to get it appraised by the same website 'furniture detective' but he had no comparables and only gave me a little background. ... I had talked to a lady that actually worked making those furnitures at tell city. She said it was probably worth $3000 -5000 according to an auction she knew about, because they are rare especially with having the original cushions.
