They can be very expensive. It depends on who made it and when it was made. A dealer needs to look at it.

I am not clear on your question since the photo here is not, at least that I can see, a Carver Back chair.

I could be totally off here and getting two things mixed up. How I see it is your chair has lovely turned legs, but it does not have a rush (woven) seat and it does not have the standard three vertical and three horizontal spindles in the back that I was always taught were the hallmarks of a Carver chair. Is there rush under the upholstery? Are there places where the spindles are missing?

That said, this chair is gorgeous.

I suggest you take it to a reputable vintage dealer and have him/her look at this piece and determine what you have--whether it is a an old piece or a new repro piece. The upholstery looks newer and like it is in fair to poor condition.

It is hard to tell without more info and more photos and a dealer may see things that I am not seeing from a photo--like how the legs are affixed, how the arms are attached, etc.

They can also tell you the value for your area. In some areas even an antique version of this chair would have little value, while in other places, if it is an antique and in good shape, you may be able to fetch a tidy sum.

Furniture values, especially if you are in the US, are regional and totally dependent on supply and demand.

Please post back what you learn! I am excited to hear what the experts say!! Blessings! Thanks for sharing!
