Antique Lion/Gargoyle Chair

By cubsmomma, 3 April, 2011
Description

This chair has a curved seat measuring 17" front to back and 18" side to side.  You can tell there used to be a label on the under side of the seat (small corner of tag left) but no markings or print is on it.  Very sturdy, seems it may be oak but the seat is made of a lighter weight wood.

These do tend to date from the turn of the 19th century into the 1920's. sadly no great value these days, values for pieces like this last peaked in the late 1980's and have been in decline since then . At auction one in really good shape might go for about $75.00.
