I have owned this furniture for about thirty years. It’s been in storage for about twenty. When I did use it I had a glass top on the table do it is in good shape. A couple of chairs need to be glued back together.
I don’t know too much about the history of the furniture, but I did have it restored when I first got it by an old antique shop that is no longer in business. Back then (around 30 years ago) he appraised the chairs around 250 each, and honestly I don’t remember the appraisal of the table whether it was 5000 or 10000. I have pictures I can send.
Hi Dennis,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
If you'd like for your appraisal to include dimensions, which is customary, please forward in the comments section - at your convenience - the height, width and depth (or overall height of the chairs) and I'll update this ASAP.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A Classical style oak extending dining table and chairs
American, early 20th Century
The rectangular top with rounded drop leaves raised on two turned bipod legs, with two leaves
The chairs with lyre-form back over trapezoidal slip seat, raised on shaped legs.
(DIMENSIONS)
CONDITION: both table and chairs appear to be in good restored condition with wear commensurate to age and use.
PROVENANCE: acquired at an antique shop
Table: $800-1,200*
Chairs: $500-800*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
Thanks, Dennis,
The market for antiques has softened considerably; it's not uncommon for things to be worth a fraction - even 1/10th the original value - and table and chairs (together and individually) are currently bringing the auction values I've appraised yours at.
I'm happy to include dimensions if you want them included - just message them to me here. Otherwise, you're all set.
Good Morning Delia,
I have added more pictures and realized that i don't have 8 chairs I have 6. It wouldn't allow me to update that
