She was a creative director for a clothing chain and for the last 25 years been a fine artist and has researched clothing for her paintings. She agreed with the dates also.
Looking at the child in the rocking chair, I’m saying more 40’s on that one. The style of that chair definitely isn’t earlier than late 30’s or 40’s. That’s a style that was around when I was a kid.
Edit: Look at the crepe paper bell on the top of the tree. Those were popular in the 50’s and most likely the later 40’s. I don’t think you’d find those earlier than the late 30’s or 40’s.
