Hi Peter,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Even if this were in good condition, I don't see similar loveseats bringing more than a couple hundred dollars at auction; I'm sure it would cost more than that to bring this to a point where it was either attractive and/or serviceable.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
An antique Rococo revival style carved fruitwood(?) loveseat
European, late 19th Century
With arched and pierced carved back centering carved lovebirds, the crest rail relief carved with rosettes, on short cabriole legs. Unmarked
36 inches overall height; 55 inches long; 32 inches deep
CONDITION: This loveseat is in poor condition, retaining its original sprung seats and horsehair-stuffed upholstery remnants.
PROVENANCE: Acquired at a garage or yard sale.
$ 50-75*
*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.
