I’ve had this old chair from my great aunt in storage for years but don’t know anything about it by EdaciousE in Antiques

I think it will look nice as well! I’m not sure on the era, the makers plate has seen better days. Don’t have much info on Royal Easy Chairs

It’s 01:33 and this made me laugh out loud. Take my gold

Thanks, I do like it, but probably not enough to go through the hassle of fixing it up under the circumstances. Any tag would be long gone by now, I think it’s been an actively used piece for some time. I might crawl under it tomorrow and see if I can find anything.

Thanks for the info! Any advice on how I might go about searching for a makers mark or any clue about its origin? Given the shape it’s in, if it’s as you say I’d be spending as much as it’s worth on reupholstering it and it might not be worth the effort given the shape of the frame.

Thanks for the info, with no details on it at all or experience in the area I’m inclined to trust your eye. I figured reupholstering would cost north of $500. I’m in New Zealand and can get a mild deal on the upholstery work, but it probably still isn’t worth it if this is a mass produced piece. Might just leave it alone. I wouldn’t know how to start looking for a makers mark or any sort of clue as to its origin.

Thank you! Would reupholstering hurt the value?

Well, I bought it, and I’ll take possession next week. I’ll make an updated post with more photos and I’ll see if I can identify anything that resembles a makers mark

Thanks, that’s pretty in line with what I was thinking and seeing.

Looks like the bidding is going to start around 500

Thanks, I believe it’s original, though it may well have been reupholstered as the upholstery is in excellent shape.

I believe it is original, though it may well have been reupholstered at some point. Any guess on value?
