Hello!

I own a pair of very old gossip chairs but do not know to what period they belong. I would also like to know what they are worth. I am attaching a picture. Thanks.

Beautiful design, love the chair.

Sadly I can't seem to find a gossip seat which seats three, most come up with only two,some are even revolving and detachable seats.

I have recently been watching the original "Dark Shadows". There is a three seated chair used in the show, similar to your chair, and I immediately knew that I had to have one. On the show, I believe the setting was in the 18th century, but am not positive. I hope this helps. You stated that you have a pair of them. Are they matching?
