The items are “tiger oak” and are a table and chairs, buffet, and china cabinet. There is a very worn and mostly illegible sticker on the underside of the table. The only think somewhat legible is “New Albany Veneer Co”, leading me to believe this is a veneered tiger oak table from the early 1900’s. The table is a square claw-footed pedestal table that extends but I do not have the extension. It measures 60x60x30. The buffet also has claw feet and measures 60x25x38. The china cabinet has rounded front feet and measures 40x16x60.5. It has a mirror attachment at the top that runs the length of the cabinet and is 9 inches in height. There are 10 chairs, six of which have a padded seat and the other four have a kind of wicker seat. Two of the padded chairs are an inch taller and an inch wider than the other chairs. All of the items appear to be tiger oak veneer and from the same manufacturer based on appearance.
My wife’s father bought the set in the late 1970’s somewhere in South Carolina. He had stated that it was “antique”, but that is all we know.
Hi Charles,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Yes, your information is correct about the wood; the New Albany Veneer Company was in business as of 1905; this set is probably from the 1920s or 1930s
I've priced these individually in case you opt to sell them separately, though the set is worth more sold together.
