A chair with wooden arms and legs.I found these in my grandmother's basement. They have been there for over 60 years. Can you tell me the approximate age and the value (if any)? Thanks

It is a little difficult to define the style of your chairs.
Your chairs look like Louis XIV style chairs, but they are not connected by H- or X-shaped stretchers, which is a distinctive feature of the Louis XIV style chairs.
The Queen Anne style is defined by the curved cabriole legs.

I think you have William & Mary Style armchairs. Furniture of this style is defined by Flemish scroll legs (exactly like your second chair) and column design style of the trumpet legs.

I think if you refurbish your chairs the price will be $ 250-500 (one chair).

I would look for a makers mark underneath it. It is not in great condition, which will affect any value it may have.

This is about the closest chair that I found that's fairly similar to yours:

Your chair looks to be in good shape. A set of chairs like these can run from $250 to $600 a pair. Here is a pair from consignment- www.chairish.com/.../late-20-century-queen-ann-style-arm...
