given to me by a friend, now deceased
Good afternoon,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. These are really lovely!
These chairs are being advertised extensively in online retail sites like 1stDibs, Chairish, etc. Mearto's prices are based on auction sales, which are often quite a bit lower than retail or asking prices.
The following recent auction sales of this model of chair is provided to demonstrate the current/recent auction market for yours, though in my opinion, the unpainted rattan is really nice.
