Good afternoon, Wendy,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
It appears as though one set of three has been stripped of paint or finish while the other set of three either retains an old painted surface or has been later painted and once matched the other set of three. The following comparable auction sales have been used to determine the value of your set of six:

Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A set of six provincial French Louis XV style upholstered side or boudoir chairs
Probably late 19th or early 20th century
Comprising a group of three without finish or painted surface together with a group of three with finish or painted surface.
Provenance: acquired from the son of a Florida collector
$500-800 (represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking prices may vary).
