I recently had it professionally appraised and was told it is an original from the 1740's. In it's current condition it was given a value of $12,000.00. I would like to sell this chair now that it no longer suits my families lifestyle. I am having trouble figuring out how to sell this as I have never sold anything of this type before. Can anyone offer some advice/help? Please.....

Melissa MurphyThe ones I have seen on eBay are reproductions. My chair has been dated in the 1740's.

Melissa MurphyThank you. I will try that. What was the different price? I'm pricing mine based on the appraisal that was done.

The most I saw one for was $3100.00. A date was not stated, but looked to be 1940's or before. Not sure how much one from the 1740's would sell for. Looked at your picture yesterday. Has your's been reupholstered?

At one time yes. It was reupholstered. But, not by me. I purchased it as you see it now.

I was hoping that someone could offer advice on how to go about selling it. I've had it professionally appraised and I seem to hit dead ends wherever I turn. Ive never sold anything of this magnitude before and I am not sure how to go about it.

Try listing it in the classified section here on iantique. I did find 2 that sold on ebay for a much different price.
Bob BlackI forgot to mention I was at Jantiques the other day. I didn't have a lot of time, but they had a bunch of marbles..so I spent time enough to sift and bought some. These folks are pretty nice and have a great selection of clean collectibles.

This round box is about 7in high and 20 in in diameter. Someone told me it might be a tobacco box? Anyone know what it is and the age and value? Thank you for looking!
This is a statue of Elmer the Bull from Borden's Milk. This is about 12 inches tall. I believe this was a premium for a sales contest or something in that order. I have never seen another one like it to compare value or age. Any ideas?
