A vintage American Colonial Revival maple expanding dining table and chair set In the Molly Stark line, by the Readsboro Chair Company, Readsboro, VT, circa 1930s-40s
Solid wood table and 4 chairs. Family friend who passed left his mother’s belongings to me. Piece of wood in the center can be taken out to shorten the table. Opening mechanism still intact. Chairs have a beautiful bow cut design. 1 chair may have been restrained. Color is off from the rest. Maroon valor seating with plastic underneath looks original. Stamp say Mully Stark Maple furniture. Good condition. Few scratches. probably from previous owners cats.
