Antique Settee and Two Matching Chairs

Description

Two chairs, one settee.  Strange carvings: flower and zig, zag pattern.  No nails, pegs some glue. Irregularities on short spindles (barrels), and on the rounded arms and pedement at top of each piece-This leads me to believe the entire piece is hand-made, and hand-carved. I  do not know the style, or the age.  The same features that are on the chair is on the settee (small sofa-looks like a couch in picture, but is rather short)Owner states "it came from a church in Boston area.  Local dealer stated it is not an American piece, but rather of an European origin. Please help!

They look like Indonesian Colonial pieces rather than European, probably made about 1900 from the look of them. I can't give you a value, you seldom see stuff like this in the North American market, and when you do it does not sell very well at auction.
