I am frankly complete unschooled in the valuation of carved pieces, but as a common sense matter, it might help potential buyers if you would furnish a bit more detail and describe the history of the pieces, as well as explain what documentation you have to authenticate their age and origin. (It may be important to some to know who is/was the artist/craftsperson who creaded the pieces.) For example, it is not clear from your post what is included in the chair and table group -- how many chairs are included? Is the bench pictured but mentioned also included? Listing the dimensions would also be helpful.

I can't quite understand what exactly you are paying all that money for.
As was said before you may need to enlighten us as to why they are worth so much.
IMHO I think you may be flogging a dead horse if you think you are going to get anywhere near those prices.
(The other thread is still there)

Quick play on google the most expensive antique teak anything is only in the 3-4000 mark. Nothing anywhere near your ridiculous prices.

About the price is relative, each person can be different opinions. and there are people who view art from another angle. I already have a bidder with a good price but there is still no match. and as I said the prices are negotiable.
The other same thread was closed. thanks for your attention
As someone who used to dabble at releif carving, and someone who collects the occasional peice, when they are of suitable quality, without any provenance, without any signature, I strongly recomend "Stay away " from these.
A quick review of prices on London auction houses shows this to be way over the top in terms of asking price, and without said provenance....... worth not a lot, unless verified by an expert ( no doubt Mr Roy will tell us he is one )
As to the quality of the carving it is nothing special and not indicative of a top rank carver judging by the pictures.
If on teh other hand you have proof of carver with provenance please at least tell us about it. Failing that move along please

photo in the carved_door 015.jpeg, look ugly and amateur works, too much varnish (plitur), young teak .. and honestly it look like my cheap cupboard I bought from down the road....look at the hinges...
bid should start from Rp. 100.000!
