I've refinished and reupolstered furniture for years. The wood is probably mahogany. Stripped and refinished and reupolstered that set would sell for an EASY $ 1000. Place it in a consignment shop or the multi vender Antique locales and walk away. On-line is usless for this type of thing.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, though.

I can see these redone, refinished & reupholstered in a beautiful tapestry fabric, for an attorney's office waiting room, or a home office, or den or "man cave" (only in leather). I think they are at least 1920s dated. Wish I still did that work.
