Hi Linda,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The Eastlake style was an influential late-19th-century design movement that promoted simpler, more honest craftsmanship in reaction to the heavy ornament of earlier Victorian furniture. The style is named after Charles Eastlake, whose 1868 book Hints on Household Taste in Furniture, Upholstery, and Other Details criticized overly ornate Victorian décor and encouraged furniture that showed good design and skilled workmanship.

Although Eastlake himself did not design furniture commercially, manufacturers—especially in Britain and the United States—adopted and popularized a style associated with his ideas.

While these were once quite expensive to purchase, the form has fallen out of favor somewhat and similar examples to this have been selling at auction lately for as little as $200-400. It's worth noting that retailers may be asking a higher retail price for ones they are selling.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

Approximately 7 feet tall; greatest width: 44 inches (above)
CONDITION: This appears to be in good age-appropriate condition with some minor losses.
PROVENANCE: Inherited
$200-400*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
