They should have been $300 each and the seller goofed and sold them all for that amount and honored the sale anyway. That gives you some idea of the going rate on these. $300 a piece. So, hopefully you got a good deal. Maybe not the deal you thought you were getting, but a good one none the less. We were told they were mahogany. If they were mine, I'd make a test cut on the back somewhere and see what the wood is like and maybe get a carver to add some nicer cuts on them. Make them look a bit more frsh and less smooth. A couple of hours in the hands of a talented carver and they would look far better. You might have to re-stain them. Maybe not.
