Antique Needlepoint

Does anyone know anything about antiques? And if so about sitting chairs from the 1860′s?

The chair has hand carved arms and legs and needlepoint design material on the seat. I have been told it is a sitting chair from the 1860′s. Does anyone know anything about this?

I pay attention to those things quite a bit. There are many things to look for to determine its value. The first would be a company stamp somewhere, probably on the underside. That will tell you if it’s American or ?. The second is the type of finish. Finishes evolved from the 1860s to the 90s, and on through the 1920s, and so on. The type of joinery used to put it together is important too, as is the method to secure the seat cloth to the underside. All these things would be clues to its age. Can’t tell you much more without seeing it. If it has a company stamp on it, then it’s worth more.
