Title: Two couches and two chairs, how much are they worth?
Post by: MatLax on December 21, 2011, 11:45:24 PM

You can see the pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/wFWnL#JE3P2 (http://imgur.com/a/wFWnL#JE3P2)

They were reupholstered by a professional (there's a label with a company number in Ontario, probably somewhere around Ottawa) and they probably didn't get used much (they were in a tea room in an old lady's house), the sides were wraped in plastic to protect them so there's no wear on the fabric and the cushions are still very firm. I don't know what brand or how old they are though...

Any idea how much that could be worth?

Thanks!

And I realise that not knowing the manufacturer/build date doesn't help, I just want to know what you would realisticaly offer for them since I'm far from being an expert.

Your sofa/chairs are typical of the 40`s French Provincial style !!  Look to be in good condition and with the newer upholstery could sell well if you are in an area with older homes !! Value around $500. to $600. here per set !!

When you say per set you mean the 4 together?

Just noticed that one sofa looks smaller !!  Is it standard size or is it a love seat size !! Here, a set can be sofa ( if regular size) and one chair !!  But since yours are all covered in the same upholstery you could sell it as one set or divide it into two sets each having a sofa and chair !! You could ask $400 to $450 for the smaller one and a bit more for the larger set (say $500 to $550)  or sell the whole thing for $800. to $850. !!
