Woven Chairs Appraisal

Pair of Wicker Barrel Chairs with Upholstered Cushions

This lot features a pair of contemporary-style wicker barrel chairs, each presented in a light, neutral color, likely an off-white or very light beige/gray paint finish. The chairs are constructed from woven wicker material, forming a continuous rounded back and armrest structure, characteristic of the barrel chair design. The weaving pattern appears to be a consistent vertical weave for the body of the chair, with a slightly different, possibly tighter horizontal weave along the top edge of the backrest, providing a finished look. Both chairs include a removable cushion for the seat, upholstered in a patterned fabric featuring a geometric design, possibly a small diamond or lattice motif, in tones of dark gray, black, and possibly a subtle hint of gold or beige, providing a visual contrast to the light chair frame. The cushions appear to be firmly fitted into the seat base. The chairs stand on four sturdy, straight legs, also made of wicker, blending seamlessly with the chair's overall construction. There are no immediate visible signs of significant damage such as breaks, tears in the wicker, or major staining on the cushions. The condition appears to be good, suggesting they have been well-maintained. The style is versatile, suited for various indoor settings, including sunrooms, living rooms, or bedrooms, and could also be used in covered outdoor areas. The craftsmanship suggests standard production quality for wicker furniture, with no discernible hand-carved elements that would indicate artisanal origins. The estimated age is likely mid-to-late 20th century or early 21st century, given their contemporary style and material usage.
