Title: Child's victorian parlor chair?
Post by: RodBrown on May 15, 2014, 08:25:57 am

Any thoughts on what I have here?  Age?  It is all original, and seemingly scaled to fit a child.

Thanks so much,
Rod

Can you give the seat and back height ??  Not Victorian,, more in the Eastlake style !!

Eastlake style, like Mart says.  But it was a style within the Victorian Era, so technically is Victorian.  No market here for Victorian or Eastlake here at the moment.  If it's not really, really good Georgian or Regency (or even earlier) or Mid Century Modern, it's not selling.  GG

We have a lot of Victorian homes here so it still sells but small pieces do not because they are strictly accessories and not really usable. Here is a nearby town for your interest.

Here if you say something is Victorian, its an automatic turn off !!  Eastlake has been picking up a bit but Primitive, Craftsman/Arts & Crafts style and high end Mid Century Modern still sell best !!
Are you sure its a childs or just a smaller ladies chair,, like the slipper chairs ??
