My dear friend of almost 40 years just passed away and left me her large tulip table and 4 swivel tulip chairs. They are in perfect condition and in fact still have the Burke labels under the chairs. Kaye was 94 years old and a perfectionist so there is not so much as a blemish on any of the pieces. Surprising fact, Kaye's last name was also Burke. Can anyone give a resell cost of this set? I have been noticing a renewed interest in this style of furniture but I really don't need it myself. This is really nice.

Burke's are knock-offs
of Saarinen's designs but you can still expect a little bit for them. You don't say whether the chairs are sides or arms. If they are sides the set is worth about 500 USD and if they are arms you can expect around 775 USD.
