PROVENANCE — 1999 MITCHEM ARTS APPRAISAL
Appraised 14 May 1999 by Holly Mitchem, ASA (Accredited in Fine Art, American Society of Appraisers) of Mitchem Arts, Ojai, California. Recorded there as item 41, a pair of rancho style side chairs, Los Angeles, California, circa 1930 — dark stained oak, 36 inches high x 16 wide x 19 long, with stepped aprons, angled legs and carrying handles. Condition in 1999: good. The appraiser titled the line "Del Rio"; the metal maker's tag on the underside of these chairs reads KROEHLER DEL REY FURNITURE, so the tag governs and the 1999 title is a transcription error.
The figure in that report was a retail replacement value for insurance scheduling, not a resale price, and it is 27 years old. It is not quoted here.
