History
this was purchased from an antique dealer probably 40 years ago.
Furniture like this typically dates for the first quarter of the 20th century. Furniture made during this period tends to be a mix of antique Styles which often makes these pieces look older than they actually are. The last time values peaked for furniture of this type was in the late 1980s early 1990s, since that time prices have dropped dramatically, particularly for wicker pieces with damage. At auction the pair might go for $100.00
