🔎 UNIDENTIFIED What style chairs? Are they worth much?

What are theses chairs? Are they worth much?
I have viewed many styles of antique Amish farm house chairs with hip hugger brace, but have never seen a style like these with ladder back. I purchased on FB Market place. No back round info. The markings under all 4 chairs appear to read #160 or #16C

If no one can identify your find - you might consider posting your pictures on WHAT'S IT WORTH? for additional exposure...

Any marks on the bottoms?

Nice oak chairs. I'm thinking made in a small shop, not a factory.

Nice to find sturdy chairs that have stood the test of time, sit down and relax

Lot Detail - Antique Oak Chair w/Tooled Leather Seat

Ladder back chairs that may have originally had woven cane seats. They could have replaced them with tacked leather seats many years ago.

When I refinish chairs with damaged seats, I replace them with painted black fiberboard seats. Cheaper than leather seats and more durable. Leather seats tend to stretch with time, which gives you that sunken look.

Bottom line, nice old chairs, but probably only worth $150 to $200 for the set of four.

Thank you for this info!
