It depends on a number of factors including condition of upholstery and comfort, to some degree. Is the finial to the right broken or just covered? If there is a lot of housing stock of similar era with pretty intact interior details, I think there would be some interest in it, particularly if the houses are large enough that this would be a secondary sofa if it's not comfortable by modern standards. The value would be what someone is willing to pay for it in your area. If it is an important maker the value could be higher. Personally it has a combination of spareness and detail that I think would mix well with mid-century stuff.

Thank you! Now... just what era IS the chair?! My son looked at it and said it reminded him of something from Star Trek or the Jetsons! Maybe that's why I liked it - I always loved those shows. Chairs seem to be my achilles heel at this point. I'm still not sure about the other chair in the photo, either. I want a pair to sit side by side there - but this is what I already had so I put it there just to see how that style would look. Seems to do ok, but there just seem to be so many other styles out there (slipper style, chinese chippendale, regency, etc.?) that might look as good or better. I admit to just getting overwhelmed sometimes with all the decisions! What chairs, what drapes, what rug, what furniture...! Oh - and what size and scale, too! Obviously it's an art to be have a vision and make it all come together. Which is why I'm sure good interior decorators are worth their weight in gold - unfortunately,however, I don't have much of that precious commodity laying about! So, I'm hoping you more experienced members here will be willing to nudge me along as I continue on with this decorating endeavor!

I don't think it was actually about trends for me. I suspect I'll like what I like now for most of the rest of my life. I think it was more that I'd never really considered kitchens before. Or my home. I'd just bought my first home when I started pinning and had never had the choice to decide how my kitchen looked before or flipped through kitchen pictures before. For instance, I don't think I'd seen an all-white kitchen before, which is a clean, crisp, appealing look. So I pinned a bunch of those. And then later I found some multicolored kitchens I liked so much more, and now I could never go back to all white. So it was more of a you-have-to-kiss-a-lot-of-frogs thing at work. With no perspective and nothing to go on, I had very little idea of what worked for me and what makes me happy, and I'd seen very little of what was out there. I also knew nothing about kitchen function. But now I've seen a bunch, learned a bunch, and thought a bunch, and I think I can happily marry this general concept for the long haul: lots of windows, green view, decidedly informal low-to-mid-range finishes, overall light and bright in tone, some wood, and some actual color on the walls or cabinets (yellow, green, or a warm blue). The real problem is that my husband hates yellow and green and prefers dramatic, dark, and fancy stuff, and I'm also married to him for the long haul.

I can't say for certain but it looks as though it is Colonial Revival. We had a sofa that was a bit like that which dated from the 1950's. There were foam cushions which sat on wood slat supports - wasn't the most comfortable piece of furniture :-). Because furniture like this was made during during many decades, it's difficult to date without looking at construction - Colonial Revival was also popular prior to WW II. FWIW, grandmothers sometimes bought new furniture so just because a piece was owned by a grandmother doesn't mean that she bought it when she was 20. Conversely, a grandmother could have bought something used which was made before she was born :-).
