I would like to know what price, date and style this chair is. It was reupholstered in the 50's. I'm not sure if this affects the value.

An entire home contents were purchased and the chair was one of the items in the purchase of the contents. It has since been in this gentlemens home unused.
We get a lot of these chairs through here, most of them date about World War One (1914-18) or shortly after . Most tend to be maple with a dark mahogany finish. These were mass produced items , the carving is all applied by machine. We retail comparable examples in good condition for about $225.00, but they often go for about $75.00 at auction.
