This chair was left in the house we purchased. I use it at my desk. Curious as to the value. Love the bent wood legs.

Re: Thonet chair
This is a 'Mid Century Modern' piece, meaning it was produced during the 1950s and 60's. MCM is currently all the rage right now, with pieces flying out of shops and fetching fantastic prices. Comparable Thonet chairs can fetch somewhere in the realm of $600-800 at retail.If you sell it to a dealer, be prepared to accept half or a quarter of that, as dealers must cover overhead and ensure a profit margin.
Adittionally, while your upholstery is in relatively good condition, the varnish needs restoration and there appears to be a substantial chip on the back left leg. This can all be fixed, but for a price. All things considered, I'd say you could sell it to a dealer for $150, as they will need to restore it before putting it on the market.
If you're even remotely considering the posibility of selling, sell NOW, as the current MCM craze strikes me as fadish and may be over as soon as next year. If you truely love the piece and plan on building a decor around it, consider having it professional restored.
